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.

If the kbin staff have already made there intentions clear, please let me know.

    I think I might have misunderstood your wider point. The part where you were positing a hypothetical in which the fediverse splits and one side has Meta. I thought you were saying you will align with the Meta side because of audience size.

    Which kind of implies that if Meta then moves into the Extend Extinguish phases you would end up at Threads?

      At the Extend phase I would encourage fighting back - or at least making it clear that we are separate from Threads and shouldn’t copy them.

      I wouldn’t leave for Threads during Extinguish; I’d stay here. But I would just sit back and mourn what could’ve been.

      Just like how I mourn XMPP whenever I see Pidgin in software center.

      Just like how I mourn when my Windows Phone had SMS, Hangouts, and Facebook Messenger all in the stock texting app.

      I’ll survive. I’m not going to Zuck’s site. But I’ll be really sad that I’m not going to be able to talk to my friends from anywhere else.
