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.

so the owners and mods of instances will have to compete to provide a good experience. I don’t see a problem with this
Who does that select for though.
Those with the most time? The most money? The most aggressive approach?
Competition doesn't tend to produce holistic quality; only efficiency.
Yeah, I don't think instances being competitive with each other would be good for the culture. It'll just produce isolationism, elitism & hostility.
