Exactly what the big platforms want, and exactly what's different about Lemmy. Low-volume, high-quality interactions
You realize that the only reason Lemmy hasn't become so enshitified is because the user base is too small for the corpos to seriously target it yet. The day Lemmy has more than a million users the army of bots will not be too far behind.
Idk man, back in November the place was pretty enshitified. Not sure if it was just left wing nut jobs but anybody with a political position even close to center or right got about 100 downvotes and got called a Russian troll or worse.
Since then it’s been a lot better though.
Enshitification. I don't think you know what that word means.
I know exactly what it means so no need for your condescending comment.
So you deliberately used it wrong? Fairo.
