the definition of enshittification is absolutely about money, it doesn’t just mean “making things worse”

totally fair to be upset IMO. spare a thought for my friend whose gym rolled out mandatory fingerprint scanning for entry, then mandatory facial recognition a few months later (they cancelled their membership)

Amir Ghavi is an AI and crypto ghoul and Biz Stone literally cofounded Twitter, this new seems to be about what I’ve come to expect from mastodon team by this point
