If Lemmy and Mastodon continues to get popular, we will eventually get Instance wars.

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.
You're viewing a single thread.
Does it really matter? So long as they remain federalized you can still access and interact with those instances.

Thanks, language confusion
True, but i think that it could as well come to "if you're from this instance you are a bad person" situation. I don't care like you say, but some people will.
And, centralization of users and communities to any one instance increases the risks of power grabs and attempts to monetize
Now that you mention it, yeah I can see that happening.
I can imagine other instances defederating from each other over minor or uncontrollable reasons. I'd hate to keep switching to new instances if that were to happen.
That's also a fair point, although I hope most serious instances only consider defederating from another instance as a last resort.
