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.

Blocking the domain will not block the users, so in that regard there is nothing you can do about 1.2bn users coming here.

If 1.2 bn users join Threads, and only get content from Threads, they're just going to go back to Instagram. Facebook doesn't have an unlimited budget for this. If Threads doesn't gain traction, it'll be killed off as unprofitable.

That's the ideal scenario for the fediverse. Threads isn't able to federate with anyone else from the start, users don't see the point, Threads isn't profitable, Threads gets abandoned.
