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.

    i’m not here for the ton of content that meta will produce. If I wanted this content I would had been there in the first place. It looks like somebody else is in the wrong place and is dreaming of a fediverse full of brands trying to promote their products and the influencers pretending they are real life advertisements.

    its funny that you measure value by that metric.

      No, I’m just not willfully blind to the fact that social networks are only valuable when people use them. Reddit wasn’t great because it was a niche forum with a handful of decentralized tech enthusiasts, Reddit was great because it was a big non-gatekeeping umbrella that welcomed everyone.

        sure. But reddit was very far from what FB and instagram are. The culture that FB and/or instagram bring with them, is something that if I liked, I would had been there already

        Here’s the thing. No matter what the Supreme Court says, a corporation is NOT a person.

        Facebook/Meta can’t be welcomed, it is a construct without feeling. It is a massive profit-driven engine with no sense of fairness or ethics.

        Anyone who uses Facebook can be welcomed, provided they make accounts and instances. But to allow a profit-driven engine like Meta to run an instance? That’s not a good idea.
