There’s a little insight into human psychology provided by this whole decentralisation thing. People tend to get pretty tribal about which instance they’re on pretty quickly. It’s obviously pretty silly most of the time, but that’s human nature. In the end I think it counts toward a flaw of decentralisation, though not a fatal one … a lot of people don’t align strongly with any particular instance or their admins and moderation choices and the tribal baggage that comes along with it all, they’re more interested in the whole network … and yet we’re all forced to pick an instance because that’s the architecture.
