    I have no idea whether it will or not, but I think it would be good if it did. Even if there are large instances, that doesn’t mean that small, niche instances have to disappear. Each instance can act as its own universe if it wants to.

      People are still smoking and the side effects are known for decades now.

      Smoking and online social network are social phenomenon there is more to it than facts.

    Hard to see it becoming that mainstream. If it does, the big social networks will probably have to adapt and implement federation. They won’t go away, and they will be the biggest instances.

    Actually, I don’t care 😅 But as long as data driven business models work, it won’t become mainstream.
