  You mean like Linux?

    Is it really enshittification if you can just turn it off if you don’t like it? Adding useless features alone doesn’t seem to be enshittification to me- it’s when those useless features become inescapable where the problem lies.

  To be fair, it’s often brought up accurately. Contemporary internet is a deeply enshittified place.

  I mean, I’m here specifically because of enshittification. Had reddit actually gotten better over time, I’d still be there; but every year came with another handful and anti-user bullshit. Finally threw my hands up, said fuck it, deleted my account, and started scouring the internet for an alternative. Eventually stumbled into Lemmy and haven’t had a reason to look back.

  …I don’t think my story here is especially unique, either. Seems just about everyone here is a pissed off ex-redditer, so enshittification is hot on all of our brains.

  People who don’t care about enshittification, or who don’t think about it specifically in connection to Reddit, aren’t here because they’re using Reddit instead.
