    I’m not bothered by it being federated with kbin, and if I don’t like it, I should be able to ban the whole domain on my account on kbin. So I hope he doesn’t give in to peer pressure to preemptively defederate with them before I can see what they are about.

    Having the freedom to make my own choices like a fucking adult is why I’m here instead of Lemmy.

      I understand your point but you also have the freedom to just go join threads yourself without the rest of us having to deal with the nonsense that it will bring here to kbin. I honestly don’t see how this could end up a net positive for the verse.

        Additionally, @BaroqueInMind has the option of creating their own kbin instance and federating with Threads that way.

        I so often see this presented as “choosing what others see” when it’s not just about that. It’s about choosing how many/which kind of people are coming onto this platform and interacting with us.

        The article Ernest posted mentions a “firehose”. Politics of EEE aside, It’s totally okay if instance admins don’t want to deal with the strain that puts on servers, moderation etc.

        It is an open secret that the Lemmy developers are tankies and support fascism. By using their software, you essentially endorse those views by proxy.

        kbin is developed by one Polish guy doing his best.
