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.

Giving them time is exactly my problem. That's exactly embrace extend extinguish works.

They start by embracing it. "We created our own fediverse instance isn't this a cool thing, come on over to our server you can see other servers and leave anytime."

Then they extend it. "We added a colorful widget, only available on threads!"

Then when they feel they've got enough of the core users, they extinguish it. "If you want to see threads content you need a Facebook account, sorry just to meant be features to stay federated."

Look at what Google did to RCS for a real world example.
