Could we get official word on what Kbin's stance is towards federating with Meta?

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.... #threads #meta #facebook #kbin #fediverse #kbinMeta

If ans when it federates, you have a handy-dandy button that lets you block instances.

As far as I know that doesn't work. I know I've blocked feddit.de but still get it on my front page.

I think I read something about how when you block a domain, it only blocks content hosted on that domain. But a text post, for instance, gets copied over to your instance and served from there, so it's still visible. That's why there's so many posts from "kbin.social" that are actually from Lemmy.

If that's the case here, then better blocking is needed.

This seems like a fundamental flaw. There NEEDS to be a user level privacy control for disallowing your posts from being copied to a place you don’t want it to go.
