What does kbin mean? Why is kbin.social called that? (lemm.ee)

Is it just random letters arrived to by keyboard mashing like a lot of federated websites seem, or is there any thought behind it?

Fun fact, Kbin is actually where all the big Ks from all the signs went when all the Kmarts shut down. Only, it turns out they were made of meat all along, so the refrigeration costs have been pretty significant... Kbin only runs the social media platform to earn enough money to pay for it all.
