Could we get official word on what Kbin's stance is towards federating with Meta? (kbin.social)

I would like to know if I can feel safe here, or if I should pack it up and start looking elsewhere sooner rather than later.

If the kbin staff have already made there intentions clear, please let me know.

As for if meta makes changes that makes federating hard, that's not our problem. If they make changes that make federating with THEM hard, that's their problem. There is no reason the rest of the fediverse needs to follow what changes meta make.

If they're 90-99% of the users/content and people are used to most of their communities being on there, then it becomes increasingly difficult to say "we won't support their standards". Allowing a monopoly on the fediverse can cause issues.

AND this is a very succinct explanation of exactly what the "Extend" part of "Embrace/Extend/Extinguish" is!
