What is enshittification?
The phenomenon of online platforms gradually degrading the quality of their services, often by promoting advertisements and sponsored content, in order to increase profits. (Cory Doctorow, 2022, extracted from Wikitionary) source
The lifecycle of Big Internet
We discuss how predatory big tech platforms live and die by luring people in and then decaying for profit.
Embrace, extend and extinguish
We also discuss how naturally open technologies like the Fediverse can be susceptible to corporate takeovers, rugpulls and subsequent enshittification.

You are so incoherent its difficult to know what you are asking for.
Typical reply with no technical merit. -This is how LiGNUts with inferiority complex bow out of arguments.
You ran away from every argument when I thoroughly trounced you with actual knowledge while you kept moving goalposts. Anyone can check either of our histories to see it. I can't honestly tell if you're juat ignorant or a honest to god lolcow.
Case in point, you've STILL not answered my question that if FOSS is commie garbage that you hate, why are you avidly using, even moderating a community, on a FOSS platform?
It's like US conservatives that do nothing but complain about American progress ("it's too woke, people living authentically and stuff that has nothing to do with me, wah") and tell others to leave. If you have nothing but complaints, why don't you just leave? You'd be much happier, you could enjoy Windows and Android to your hearts content, blissfully unaware.
