im honestly surprised you're using kbin or any federated service with that take lol, how could you simultaneously be for federation but also against it?
This is a silly perspective to me, but apparently it is a common misconception about federation.
IMO, just because you can federate doesn't mean you should... In fact, the ability to defederate is one of the most appealing aspects of a federated system, as a means of mitigating problematic content.
The front door to your house opens, but you don't have to open it for everyone.
Gmail blocks a ton of smaller email services for generating spam / scams / malicious activity, just because a protocol is open doesn't mean it has to tolerate problematic content.
This is exactly my concern, I don't want my online activity to become another revenue stream for meta. If they can put ads next to our posts then we're back to working for free for the billionaires.
