Welcome to Enshitification
A community for everyone who didn't realise it was spelled 'enshittification'.
This is your space to document the decay, demise, and destruction of the tech world as we know it. Share stories, articles, and firsthand experiences that capture the ongoing decline of once-celebrated platforms, services, and companies in the late stage capitalist landscape.
From monopolistic corporate shifts to anti-user updates and the relentless pursuit of profit over quality—if it’s broken, bloated, or just plain bad, it belongs here. We’re here to spotlight the moves that make the tech world worse, one piece of enshittification at a time.
Guidelines
🔹 Stay on Topic: Only post content about the decline of tech products, platforms, or companies.
🔹 Quality Content: Give some context when posting links or articles to drive quality discussions.
🔹 Respectful Discussion: Critique companies, crappy tech, and capital, not community members.
🔹 Positive Monday: The first Monday of every month is reserved for positive content only that shows enshittification isn't inevitable.
Join us to expose the changes that ruin the things we once loved and to discuss what comes next in a tech world gone wrong.

...what? Since when is iOS not the most locked-down OS ever?
Depends on how you mean. The code isn't open source, but you can turn off notifications, prevent apps from accessing the camera, turn off EXIF, location data, etc.
Does all your biometric DNA and everything get slurped up by Apple and processed into a secret file for the NSA where they use robots to steal our luggage? Yeah maybe. I mean, no one's proven that yet, despite it being almost 20 years. But I get to play my little piratd mp3s, stiff Google, and don't have to unlock a fucking custom rom to get that level of control.
It's not perfect. It's just better. Or, you can stick with a dumb phone and pen & paper like a sane rational person.
All things you can do on stock Android as well.
