Wow, the 'enshittification' of the internet is really taking off now. Sites are either already dodgy, or well on their way there!

I know this has been a bit of a slow burn for a while now, but it really feels like it's all coming to a head suddenly.

    We really gotta back decentralized platforms if we don't want everything to become an overmonetized hellscape where all information and communication is skewed to suit business interests. I wouldn't pay for Reddit Gold and Twitter Blue but I should send some money to the Lemmy, Kbin and Mastodon folks.
