I remember seeing the video where they caught “the shooter” trying to hide amongst the other participants. Of course later it turns out the person they “caught” was Gambia, who had not shot at anyone. Good reminder that first impressions from an incident like this can be misleading, and if you don’t check in later you may continue to hold that false impression.

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.

I don’t know, I could see that improving the experience.
