If Lemmy and Mastodon continues to get popular, we will eventually get Instance wars. (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

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.

Well, there are the fascists(exploding-heads.com) and the communists(lemmygrad.ml) for a start.

You have some national instances such as lemmy.ca, aussie.zone, feddit.de, feddit.nl, feddit.uk and feddit.it.

Beehaw is busy building their ivory tower by defederating anyone with a slightly different oppinion so i'd say they are the centrists or maybe the swiss.

Other than that the rest is pretty much the same, if you ask me.

It's only until they have better mod tools.

Yes, but they chose that route rather than for example expand their admin-team.

They would rather remain a small tight knit community than expand for fear of loosing their core values.

I'm disagree with their aproach but understand their reasoning. In the context of a instance war however I think they'd avoid conflict and thus remain impartial.
