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.

I think we'll gravitate to our own tribes. R/Donald fans will hang out on one instance. BernieBros on another.

Decentralisation means we'll be in our own bubbles more.

What was good about Twitter and Reddit was that it was the Agora, the commons, where you bump into others who really need you to see their cats or Excel art while you browse for your own picadillos.
