If Lemmy and Mastodon continues to get popular, we will eventually get Instance wars.
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
What are they extremist about?
Idk, but lemmygrad sounds like it could be a tankie-dominated place
dang, I never saw one. I wanna see what they talk about 😂
Lemmygrad is still federated with a lot of the big instances and not very extreme tbh.
