I’m not here to tell you that their motives are pure. But I don’t see how a dislike button or social proximity are enshittification. And I don’t see how it’s tighter reliance on their control.
Is Lemmy having the ability to downvote enshittification? That’s what drew me to Reddit and now to Lemmy. It pushes less useful/interesting content down and brings better content to the front (generally)
Is showing you posts from people connected to people connected to you enshittification? That’s a feature I genuinely like about LinkedIn. I’ve seen posts from people I know but wasn’t connected to yet. I’ve seen pictures from events I attended but uploaded but people I don’t know personally.

It is what they want - for them it is a “feature” to exist surely inside of their echo chambers. MANY Lemmy instances - hexbear.net and Lemmy.ml to name just a couple - are the same, banning people who even remotely disagree with them.
Profit-seeking is not the only cause of enshittification.
