What is enshittification?

The phenomenon of online platforms gradually degrading the quality of their services, often by promoting advertisements and sponsored content, in order to increase profits. (Cory Doctorow, 2022, extracted from Wikitionary) source

We discuss how predatory big tech platforms live and die by luring people in and then decaying for profit.

Embrace, extend and extinguish

We also discuss how naturally open technologies like the Fediverse can be susceptible to corporate takeovers, rugpulls and subsequent enshittification.

One only deeds to defend themselves when attacked. Thus far this has not been the case.

Milquetoast Blue MAGAt doormats are not what the party needs in their constituency. I'll be sure to wave as you are carried away in the cattle car.
