Each instance with an owner/operator making rules... that the average social media user walks in, orders a drink, and starts smoking without any concern that neither one may be allowed. People can be loyal to their media outlets even when it is beyond obvious they are bad. People raised on storybooks that endorse bad behaviors and values, HDTV networks, and social media too. Audience desire to "react comment" to images and not actually read what others have commented - nor learn about the venue operators and reasons for rules is pretty much the baseline experience in 2023.
I am new here and I don’t even know what an instance is, how to find one for me or why you are mentioning HGTV.
An Instance is just another word for 'server' in lemmy terminology. HDTV is a classic form of media that doesn't involve TCP/IP to watch films and other video content.
think of it as subreddit, and within the subreddit you have other sub-subreddits.
