I don't think it's the same with Discord because you already know which server you want to join, even if there are hurdles.
With federated instances you are told they all do the same thing and that it doesn't matter, but in the same breath you're told there's still criteria to consider (number of users, location, some have a main theme etc.)
I know it's old, but MMO servers used to have this kind of criteria.
You would just a server next to you, speaking a language you did, with a reasonable amount of users
very similar to IRC also
