I think twitter is teaching a lot of these companies that having one company responsible for your community outreach doesn’t go well when the CEO of that company can run it into the ground for clout.
The mastodon model is more born from a need on the market that wants stability and control of their own communications.
That being said, watching facebook, kbin, and hexabear, in arms reach of each other is going to be a community reckoning.
Does kbin have a negative reputation (or any kind of collective reputation, really) like Facebook/Meta and Hexbear? Or are you just mentioning it because it bridges the gap between micro-blogging and the “threadiverse”?
I’m a kbin user and I can’t say I’m aware of what its reputation is in general. But I also just don’t tend to get into the inter-instance politics all that much.
KBin’s got a wide range of personalities. Only a small portion are toxic. Their reputation with me is that they tend not to read Lemmy instances’ rules or community sidebars before posting (but that could be a fault of the software?)

Well you’ve got a couple of small spammers and right-wing trolls, but otherwise you’re pretty chill.
Edit: You’ve also got a bunch of neoliberals, but you’re far from the worst in that aspect.
