      It always starts that way. But the tighter reliance on their control only leads one place.

        They are not focusing on making it easier for more people to run alternate nodes/indexers

        They are focusing on enshittification

        I’m not here to tell you that their motives are pure. But I don’t see how a dislike button or social proximity are enshittification. And I don’t see how it’s tighter reliance on their control.

        Is Lemmy having the ability to downvote enshittification? That’s what drew me to Reddit and now to Lemmy. It pushes less useful/interesting content down and brings better content to the front (generally)

        Is showing you posts from people connected to people connected to you enshittification? That’s a feature I genuinely like about LinkedIn. I’ve seen posts from people I know but wasn’t connected to yet. I’ve seen pictures from events I attended but uploaded but people I don’t know personally.
