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.
The 2nd largest instance has already de-federated themselves to create a walled garden with reddit-style moderation, eg you can be banned because the mods don’t like what you said, even if it does not break the rules. That instance is: beehaw.
I thought they were only temporarily defederating from World because the mass influx of users was fucking up their servers and capacity to moderate
From what I’ve read you are right, it should be temporary.
