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.

Email is federated as well, but I never saw anything I could call email instance wars. You can use whichever you want, no one really cares.

If I ever saw @aol.com as front desk in a hotel, I knew I was potentially in for a bad time!

What did @hotmail.com tell you?

I'll answer this one. In my experience they used to know a little more back in the day. Tread lightly, it could go either way.

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.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
