  Okay. Now, explain the concept of enshitification. And do it using terms that regular folk won’t find crass.

  You know how conservatives live in this bubble where they don’t even see their racism because it’s so normalized? We’re interacting within a bubble where everyone has a very high level of technical competence versus the average person, so we fail to understand just how tech illiterate others are.

    Not just tech illiterate but also advertising illiterate. The regular folks I know seem happy to wade through endless platform ads and influencer sales pitches. Enshittification can really be a slowly boiling frog type scenario.

    Company focus on profit. even if mean overall experience get not gooder

    I dumbed it down to caveman speech for those that still wouldn’t understand. It’s a simple concept all of use that have used the Internet in the past year have experienced.

      The usual suspects couldnt care less. The more convenient it is the better. No matter how bad the future wil be.

        I cannot imagine mastodon getting any more convenient.

        I personally never like the style of twitter so I don’t use it

        But when I did make an account on the mastodon app it was so simple my special needs clients could do it.

    elon musk bought twitter and turned it to shit (or even more shit). elon (or someone else) could do that with Bluesky too, but can’t with Mastodon.

      So that’s impossible with the fediverse? No way a company like Meta could have a fediverse platform?

        Well the general idea of federation is not the same as “fediverse”. most “fediverse” sites are FOSS which is the main selling point in my opinion. They do not rely on ad income (and thus preying on people’s cognitive weaknesses with algorithms) to operate. Federation is an added bonus on top of that which allows you to set up your own instance if you want.

        Sure meta could make a federated service of some kind (like bluesky has done), but without being FOSS there’s always the high likelihood of enshittification.
