What about the rest of the Fediverse or other parts of the internet?

It would look like a warehouse full of shelves that are very well organized but there’s no map, and a lot of the shelves have the exact same designation but completely different contents.
Library of babel?
Some random building used for parties that one person pays for regularly so everyone else can stand in social circles and talk about random topics because they have nothing better to do.
More like a building where several strangers each pay for a flat, and people are free to come and go to different flats as they please.
I also think there would be a couple of distinct groups sticking to their own flats, and none of the others in the building wanting to visit them. These flats are known as “Defederated”. Now and then a newcomer will stumble through the door, have a look around, and decide to never open that particular door again.
Note that I’m not mentioning any particular instances, so if you feel offended by this, that’s probably on you.
I was also thinking flats/apartments where people go to hang out as a good metaphor. Not necessarily fancy ones either, the kind of cheaper, basic ones most people start with early in their adult life.
Apartments as fancy as its denizens are willing to make it, really.
A small, abandoned office building.
The ground floor would be full of TVs playing news networks and people arguing about politics.
The top floor would be cubicles for the coomers
The basement would be full of servers and bearded people with Thinkpads running Linux
easy
Ever walk into your college campus center at 11:45pm on a Saturday and discover the 25 unwashed dudes that are in there playing Smash Bros in a massive LAN party while drinking a mix of Mt. Dew and beer?
It would look like that.
But they are all disagreeing, scoffing at each other with “akshully” statements about things they don’t understand.
Picture a pig pen, but really dirty
