Their whole front page has dozens of these same images. And I'm not much of a imgur user to dig around.

    Enshittification is always the end of most online platforms that aren't federated because hosting costs money. Maintaining costs people. Which is more money. Especially as you scale out with popularity.

    First step is ADs. But ad blockers prevent that revenue stream.

    Second is monetization. (Reddit Gold or some premium BS)

    Third is selling out.

    There isn't a guarantee that federation protects against enshitification. Email has effectively been captured by a few providers.

    people always say this but at worst "a few" means like 50, which is a damn fucking sight better than every other platform which is ONE provider

    and you can use other providers or even run your own email setup, you'll just run into problems, which is again a damn fucking sight better than other platforms where the option doesn't even exist at all.
