If the descentralization of social networks continue, we will have to prepare for the eventual rise of the instances wars, where people will start to fight about which instance is better and which one is weird to be in and so on, but that’s for the future of us all.

    No, this is exactly what will happen, though there will be bubbles of similar minded instances, no doubt, but given the federate nature of this all, I don’t think someone will make their instance incompatible to the rest, except of course some corpos get their hands on it… looking at meta

        I thought they were only temporarily defederating from World because the mass influx of users was fucking up their servers and capacity to moderate

          From what I’ve read you are right, it should be temporary.

      Does this mean lemmy gets less totalitarian as it grows, due to the increased cost of trying to cut ties with people?
