It would probably follow the Reddit model that began in 2018. Maybe Lemmy.today is the first example of this.

  1. Admins ask members left of liberalism to keep the conversation in the centre.
  2. Rules are no longer enforced and are watered down.
  3. Frivolous bans.
  4. Removal of moderators.
  5. Defederation from other instances.
  6. Ads introduced in the sidebar and posts.

0 and 1 are subjective, so not really a masure. 2, 3 and 4 could be indicative. 5 is just enshittification and unrelated, hell, if they're not intrusive they're fine, let the owners pay the hosting costs.

Generally, the freedom of expression is, the greater diversity of opinions there is, the greater the number of disagreements and discussion there is - the better.
