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.

For some more positive takes

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.

Once again, if they sent an email about it explicitly stating the changes, it didn't happen "silently".

@BradleyUffner@lemmy.world SLAMS article title for poor choice of words.

It’s frustrating how there is no other unmetered competition in this space. Backblaze is one stool leg of my 3 2 1 backup for irreplaceable documents and family photos.

Darn you, backblaze. This is how you blaze your backup business. To ashes.

It’s a bad time for this. I need to get off backblaze, but also hard drives and computers are stupid expensive.
