Jesus Christ that sounds like absolute hell.

Too bad. Reddit's death has made the enshittification of the fediverse inevitable, just as Digg's death made Reddit's situation inevitable. But history has a habit of accelerating. As we feed more advanced data into the system, it advances faster. We're seeing that now, up close, with AI. But I think it's been the case for all of human history - maybe all of history, period. So while it took, what, 10 years, maybe, for Reddit to transition from the second stage to the final, I wouldn't expect it to take more than 2 years for the fediverse as a whole. I have ideas about how it will happen, but I refuse to make those ideas freely accessible.

AI will figure them out, don't you worry.

If it needs to take down the fediverse as a competitor media, it'll figure out a way to manipulate people into it.

I'm sure that it will happen. If AI doesn't do it, good old natural greed and cunning will have the same effect. That doesn't mean I need to lay out workable ideas.
