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.

So who exactly is it that gets to decide which companies are and are not allowed to be part of the Fediverse?

It's all very very much like a dictatorship, whether you want to accept it or not - that's exactly how it is being operated.

Sorry I missed this in my prior reply and can no longer edit it.

It's not a dictatorship beyond any one instance, which is the entire point. You don't like that some large percentage of instances have said "no thank you" to Meta? Then you move to an instance that is happy to be embraced by them.

For christ sake I don't understand why people aren't getting it. YES it is a dictatorship because it is not about any one instance - if it was just instances saying "I don't want to federate with Meta" and that was it - I wouldn't have a problem, that is a perfectly acceptable thing to do. But that's not what this is - this is instances saying "I don't want to talk to Meta, and if you want to continue talking to me, then YOU are not allowed to talk to Meta either" - explain to me HOW that is not being a dictatorship?
