The fact that all instances talk to each other, makes me think we likely won't have wars.
I mean I'm subscribed to beehaw and kbin communities. And everything in between.

Interesting to hear this from a dirty lemmy.fmhy.ml-er! 😈
What's the Gentoo equivalent of an instance?
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.

Already happening. Have you heard of Beehaw?
Competition is good. Competition keeps us strong.
what about beehaw? i've seen it around, but know not of any instance wars.
Beehaw defederated from a lot of servers and nobody knows why.
It's because they're lame.
I just hope that most people will be open-minded and that most instances will federate. But that's probably being optimistic.
No, this is exactly what will happen, though there will be bubbles of similar minded instances, no doubt, but given the federate nature of this all, I don't think someone will make their instance incompatible to the rest, except of course some corpos get their hands on it... looking at meta
This is an avengers level threat
