Is kbin.social anti-corporation? Should it be?
shepherd@kbin.social to /kbin meta@kbin.social – 72 points – 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?

I don’t think there should be blind hostility but it should be clear that any hint of embrace, extend, extinguish will result in hostile actions like defederation. I also don’t think targeted ad tech companies share the goals of the Fediverse. I wouldn’t be bothered if instances had sponsors (as in, “/Kbin is made possible by support from Cloudflare”) like all non-profit media. But any sort of targeted ads based on user activity/data should be ruled out as a way to fund the metaverse.
I think we have already seen hints of "embrace, extend, extinguish" with the confidential meeting they invited the Fosstodon dev to.
@codybrumfield Well, we already have Meta's off-the-record invitation. I'd consider that to be a hint of shenanigans!
