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.

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.

If I see an sbcglobal, aol, hotmail, or yahoo, I will assume tech illiteracy

haha, I do have a @hotmail.com account. Granted, nowadays I use it mainly as my "spam" account (to be clear: I'm not sending spam, it's the account I give when I'm required to give an email or create an account) but hotmail was a big thing in the old days before gmail and that account still has sentimental value to me.

I have a Hotmail account for the same reason. I've got a few things that still send to my Hotmail, like government and banking stuff, so I've just kept it. Outside of work, I don't email much anyway so it's not much to look after 2 accounts.

Showerthoughts

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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----
