the internet is in part going back to its non corporate backed roots with Lemmy mastodon and the like.

I'm very small part.

and thanks to the enshitification it will hopefully slowly revert back to it

Twitter has proven that they won't. Reddit has proven that they won't. They've both proven that you can shit all over your own users, give them nothing in return, and they'll complain for a few days but never leave in any significant numbers. Meta has proven that these shitty corporations can start up wholly new operation (Threads) and the masses will flock to it by the tens of millions.

People have demonstrated over and over that, by and large, they will let these corporations piss on their heads and tell them it's raining and that they will do absolutely nothing about it.
