@GhostOnTheHalfShell @johnlogic @dlakelan Right to Repair is a win for any honest brand that wants to credibly signal their intent not to do #enshittification

Without R2R the honest manufacturer has no advantage over the rugpull because they can't promise that service, parts, software updates will stay good after a pivot or change in ownership

R2R imposes no extra costs on the honest brand—it cuts off the rugpull option they intend not to use anyway, and brings the fair price of the product up

Making a talk on #enshittification in two weeks (in Russian), gotta need all the @pluralistic 's talk recordings despite having read every one of his blog postson the topic 😊 So thanks @joeldn for sharing.

It's one thing to say "read so much I can basically explain it myself" and another to actually go and explain.

Finally started geading #Enshittification by Cory Doctorow @pluralistic .

Interesting read putting rigor, facts and words on what we all feel as users and customers nowadays.

I can't wait to get to the solutions chapter though.

"The short version is that YouTube used AI to 'enhance' the videos of Rick Beato and Rhett Shull. YouTube used an AI smoothing filter that made the videos look like they were AI generated, and didn’t tell Beato, Shull, or their viewers that they were doing it. They only admitted to it after the two made videos proving it happened, later claiming it was only a 'limited test'.”

A couple of weeks ago I saw @pluralistic live in conversation with Novara Media, a fascinating talk, which is now available to watch online. One phrase he mentioned a couple of times was a post-American internet, where American big tech no longer dominates the landscape. If you're reading this on the Fediverse, I feel we're edging closer towards to this ideal. https://novaramedia.com/2025/12/07/the-plan-is-to-make-the-internet-worse-and-big-tech-rich/ #Enshittification #DigitalSovereignty #BigTech #NovaraMedia

@pluralistic Wandering B&N last Monday, 💩 emoji on a book cover catches my eye. Thursday: book is finished, already have 3 other people starting to read #Enshittification and I’m back to actually using mastadon again. Thank you for helping open my eyes!

@pluralistic I went looking for Crad Kilodney's books while reading #Enshittification. I found his domain has been cybersquatted. The books are on Internet Archive though: https://archive.org/details/texts?tab=collection&query=crad+kilodney

I am quite sure that if you haven’t donated to @bonfire ‘s campaign yet it’s just because you did not know about it yet, so here is a link: https://www.indiegogo.com/en/projects/bonfire/community 🙂

In case you are not convinced yet, here’s a slide for you about (and against!) #Enshittification 💩

In this moment, I think every project that fights enshittification should deserve attention and support. I myself contributed, and got me an awesome print (limited edition number 19, which as y’all know is binary for 🤟😜)

More #enshittification .. . #youtube won't let you watch #videos at other playback speeds without paying for Youtube Premium.

Like, I don't know how you can speedrun the ruination of a platform any faster.
