If Lemmy and Mastodon continues to get popular, we will eventually get Instance wars. (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

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.

Hmmm...I think this is the best explanation I've had so far.

I certainly don't mean this negatively, but I get the impression a lot of the people here that actually understand it are also bad at explaining it to normies like me. And people like me are very much in the minority at this stage in the growth.

Aww, thank you.

It's a hazard of really knowing what you're talking about that leads to overestimating what other people know. I don't have that problem 😉. Relevant xkcd: https://xkcd.com/2501/ .
