Do you think Lemmy and other parts of the fediverse will eventually enshittify? I think this would be an interesting discussion to have. There currently is not financial incentive like the ones that have led centralized platforms to enshittify. But there might be in the future. Does decentralization protect against that tendency in some way?

Lemmy and Mastodon do give me the hope, that when one platform turns to shit, there will be people creating a platform that - for the time being - is not.

    It’s so vital that Lemmy instance operators commit to refusing to federate with things like that.

    Not sure if you are aware, but Lemmyworld is still federated with Threads: https://fedipact.veganism.social/

      Well, that’s shitty. Indeed I was not aware. Thanks for being the bearer of bad news, kind stranger.
