Yup, this is the answer. We know enshittification will continue apace because history has shown that these companies will never change their behaviour. They are fundamentally fragile systems.
The way to deal with this is not some big marketing push - that's a centralised approach - but to make an antifragile system that will slowly gain users and not lose them en masse. It's the tortoise vs the hare.
Lemmy is the tortoise.
I'm not even too worried about corporate entryism - although I do think we should block them - because they will only make fragile instances and they will be outlasted as long as we keep independent instances alive and healthy.
Precisely. Excellent points!
The one thing we can certainly count on META doing is screwing their users over if they think it might make them money.
