I read “first step is active directories” and was super confused lol
Comment on What's going on with imgur right now?
Landless2029@lemmy.world 2 months agoEnshittification is always the end ofost online platforms that aren’t federated because hosting costs money. Maintaining costs people. Which is more money. Especially as you scale out with popularity.
First step is ADs. But ad blockers prevent that revenue stream.
Second is monetization. (Reddit Gold or some premium BS)
Third is selling out.

You and me both… I’ve switched to ADDS for OG win server AD though.

There isn’t a guarantee that federation protects against enshitification. Email has effectively been captured by a few providers.

people always say this but at worst “a few” means like 50, which is a damn fucking sight better than every other platform which is ONE provider
