Enshittification
Welcome to Enshittification
A community for everyone who misspelt it as enshitification.
"I the onceler felt sad as I watched them all go, but business is business and business must grow, regardless of crummies in tummies you know."
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.

For me and my brain's secret blend of eleven herbs and neurospices, I am most content when my world is small but I am intensely focused on the people/pets/things in it.
So in the physical world, I work a lot on my house and yard to make it my family's happy enriching little oasis. We're involved in the community, especially the local elementary school, which is close enough to walk my kid to. (my middle aged american mind cannot comprehend this walkability witchcraft /s... but seriously I have to drive to every other destination))
On the internet, while I do still exist in the eyes of Meta and Google -- it may NOT surprise you to learn that Facebook is the center of the internet for my corner of white conservative suburbia, including for local official organizations -- I choose to only open Lemmy when I want to just BS and read opinions online.
