    That’s not enshittification. Enshiification doesn’t mean “gets shittier”.

    Enshittification is this very specific thing where services are initially good to attract users, but eventually turn to making things shittier for user in pursuit of profit growth - where they can’t really grow the user base any more, so the only way to satisfy wall street’s need for exponential growth is to add user-hostile changes to squeeze more out of existing users.

    That’s not a thing with Lemmy unless it goes corporate somehow.

    Edit: missed that someone else already called this out
