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 are as long as they agree to federate with each other (which they obviously are if they’re in your feed)

      So what is the point of congregating on a general purpose instance? I ask this because of the snippet from the root comment:

      The problem is that users tend to go where other users are (otherwise why go there)

      If everything is visible from any (federated) instance, why not switch once you encounter slow down? In my comment, I was just clarifying that I understood the premise.
