Not liking someone is not a good reason to root against decentralized platforms, IMO. The entire point of decentralization is that nobody gets to control the experience and who is/isn't allowed to participate.
Unless he joins fedia.io you don't really get a say in what he does... kind of the entire point behind decentralization....
It's also an avenue for attacks.
The growth of the network*
There are many platforms in the Fediverse. The fact that the network can survive the collapse of one platform is a strength of decentralization. The Lemmy/mbin/piefed universe can only ever be exactly as big as we, the users, want it to be.
Ah yes, famous coward Harvey Milk /s
Greetings fellow /u/kirk, nice bike!
Um are you aware what community this is
You are correct and I don't mean to shame but it has been their goal for 7 years now since the redesign in 2018.
You can edit titles on Lemmy FYI
While Lemmy is still young we should establish a culture of politely, yet firmly ridiculing the weight of the mothers of users who don't de-clickbait headlines.
I know Cory Doctorow (who coined the term) has said that he doesn't mind if people use the term "enshittification" to simply mean "product gets worse", but the definition he gave it specifically refers to anti-capitalistic practices (what he calls "technofeudalism").
"Enshittificiation" as described by Doctorow hurts businesses too. "Capitalism" definitionally implies the presence of a competitive market. "Enshittification" (like you said nothing new) describes what happens when a market is no longer competitive because it controlled by a single entity (monopoly). "Enshittification" happens when the government stops enforcing laws that protect free markets and allow capitalism to break down.
Sorry for being a pedant but I see those words gets thrown around a lot in ways that IMO can muddle the meaning.
