Happy Enshittification Day! 💥
July 1, 2023: Reddit cuts off API access, Twitter requires login, Youtube may ban ad-blockers, Meta & Google block news in Canada...
A half-year since Cory Doctorow's seminal thesis on #enshittification, how corporate platforms die (https://pluralistic.net/2023/01/21/potemkin-ai/#hey-guys), and every corporate site seems hell bend on its own destruction.
Celebrate #EnshittificationDay by going to [instance address]/about, find the donations link, and make your contribution to open social media!
@mastodonmigration Seems fitting that #EnshiitifictionDay land on the day that Reddit cuts off API access to all third-party apps, and that Elon crops users to reading 600 posts per day and suffers a site outage.
