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.

Probably an unpopular opinion but I'd rather defederation be left to the users. I don't want to see content from Meta, but I want the ability to make that decision myself.

If you're truly worried about federating with Meta, you should probably also avoid all the other products they have their fingers in.

This includes all their web properties:

Instagram
WhatsApp
Onavo
Oculus VR
Beat Games
Kustomer
Lofelt

But this also includes many web technologies that are ubiquitous around the web. Meta has either created or contributes code and resources to:

React.js
MySql
Memcached
HHVM
Cassandra
Scribe
Hadoop
Hive
Apache Thrift
Varnish

I suspect you'll have a hard time finding any website on earth that doesn't use at least one of these technologies.
