Lemmy probably feels like Reddit when it first started, all warm cuddly and friendly to newcomers eager to discuss and collaborate around central topics. (lemmy.world)

The word enshittification didn't exist at the time, but the concept predates either website. It nearly predates the web. Stop talking to each other and start buying things.
