Would this not depend on the kbin instance and its admins? Do you mean kbin.social specifically?
@tunetardis , yes kbin.social

This Post seems to suggest that it would be the death of this decentralized network if they did.

That’s how I feel about it. Meta would never invest in this space unless they believe they can control or destroy the space.
@1chemistdown ActivityPub is a public protocol just like every other Internet protocol. Individual server Admins, whether they run KBIN, Lemmy, Mastodon, Calckey, PixelFed, PeerTube servers, are free to block any other server that connects to ActivityPub. You have to ask the Admin of the server you're on or interested in joining.
