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.

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.

Friendly discourse. If it gets bad maybe instances might black each other.

I think it would be better if everybody selfhosted a instance of their own. Make it super hard and complicated to find communities but, keep things nice and clean

Yeah we need an opt-in central registry of communities and people.

I hope a couple instances are made specifically to go to war with each other.

The instance drama is kinda fun tbh

It's like instead of getting mad at reddit/Twitter, we can talk to the people who run the communities directly (usually)

Obviously lemmy.robotra.sh is the best one because it's mine and only people I know can be there ¯\(ツ)

Mastodon is on a decline already. It is different than, say, Lemmy. Mastodon's contents are produced mainly by mainstream content creators, and they do not migrate from Twitter its counterpart.
