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.

Isn't it already? Lemmygrad, exploding-heads and other extremist instances have already been defederated. But the main feature is the federation itself, which also creates powerful alliances between instances with common values. Platform-wise, it will be just a matter of difference of use and leaning, but federation alliances will work the same

Lemmygrad is still federated with a lot of the big instances and not very extreme tbh.

What are they extremist about?

Idk, but lemmygrad sounds like it could be a tankie-dominated place

[-] evirac@vlemmy.net 2 points 1 year ago

dang, I never saw one. I wanna see what they talk about ๐Ÿ˜‚

You can visit any instance's front page anonymously in a browser, it is easy and prudent

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
