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

      This

      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.
