I’m seeing discussions on other instances about how a “federated” corporate instance should be handled, i.e. Meta, or really any major company.
What would kbin.social’s stance be towards federating/defederating with a Meta instance?
Or what should that stance be?
kbin.social is in particular situation, as it is the only top 15 server by monthly users, which is not Mastodon. The only Fediverse instances bigger than kbin.social, are:
mastodon.social
pawoo.net (Japanese, Sujitech)
(a lolicon server)
(two fake and one sus Russian instances).
Every other Fediverse server has less monthly users.
It tempts to try federation with Meta, mainly to try Threads’ handling of the real threading app.
Meta is going to embrace ActivityPub with Threads by Instagram. Are we (free Fediverse users, creators, programmers, etc.) able to extend, and extinguish Meta’s app?
Different Fedi software support articles, threading, formatting, fancy formatting (Misskey-Flavoured Markdown), video, events. I doubt, that new Facebook’s app would support all of these at once.

@shepherd A warning about Pawoo: it is FAR TOO EASY to accidentally see lolicon hentai art there right now, despite the admins trying to do something about CP (https://pawoo.net/web/statuses/110195807808920534). The legality and morality of lolicon hentai vs real human CP is another thing but at the moment that shit is out there in the open. Also, they don’t allow you to search for text within posts, so you’re limited to the global feed where you can encounter the aformentioned, or you have to specifically know who you want to follow and curate from there.
