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 , 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 by going to [instance address]/about, find the donations link, and make your contribution to open social media!

Calendar updated! I assume celebrations will consist of ripping out coax cables and exchanging public keys?

GCarty80,

@mastodonmigration How would you respond to Twitter users who are unwilling to migrate to Mastodon because Mastodon chose not to allow searching of post text (as opposed to hashtags)?

@mastodonmigration Every time I read the words " " I think it's the name of some cool song by Thievery Corporation, ya mon.

I and I be done with the tweets
Bab-Elon man can't take da heat
Time to move on to da Mastodon
Irie future in da Mastadon

Mastadon Migration
It's a Mastadon Migration, mon
Shakin' up the nation, mon
It's the Mastadon Migration, ya!

@mastodonmigration Social media sows the seeds of it's demise within itself. Decentralization, "don't be a hateful a-hole" community standards are hopeful signs on a more positive next gen

@mastodonmigration Corporations suddenly decide seppuku is the best way to run the place

Xaxxus,

@mastodonmigration

While I’m not happy with FB and googles decision, I don’t blame them for it.

The current government here in Canada is a joke.

gurumeditation,

@mastodonmigration wow, was the enshittification blog only this year? It feels like it's been around a lot longer.

tinkerings,

@mastodonmigration @pluralistic How truly ironic that the links to Twitter, such as the on in this screen shot from https://pluralistic.net/2023/01/21/potemkin-ai/ , is now dead unless you’re logged in.

Hamishcampbell,

@mastodonmigration the ida that they were always has been around for 20 years... So this hashtag is a little late ;)

@mastodonmigration

"Yay. The is dying*"

Is what I would say.. But.

Bright5park,

@mastodonmigration I give eight bucks every month to my home instance kind.social, because to me, that is more valuable than some Badge of Dishonor that shows I am part of Elon's Musketeers.

@mastodonmigration May this day be remembered. And hopefully other closed social platforms join Enshittification Day too! ^_^

nicokruppe,

@mastodonmigration

should be a worldwide extra holiday 😁

wackyIdeas,

@mastodonmigration I signed up for medium annual support for my insurance, Mastodon.uno and buy the admins a cup of coffee weekly.

crowvocado,

Wake up babe, new anti-holiday just dropped

Fungi455,

@mastodonmigration I mean... News is mostly garbage anyways. I'm not sad about less profit for google and meta lol.

offall,

@mastodonmigration it's a wild ride

MacrameOwl,

@mastodonmigration
I like this. My thinking on the problem is that Musk, Google, FB et al think they’re air when they’re mostly chocolate cake.

Bad move by FB to dig in their heels with Canada though - Google seems to still want to negotiate. Canadians get pissed when people try to blackmail us (Meta), and we’re stubborn.

@mastodonmigration Exactly one year from when I retired from technology work. See what happens when I’m not there to babysit you clowns?

DemocritusDiscoBall,

@mastodonmigration

This is something I’ve been wondering, very new here but very much enjoy it and the principles behind it. Thank you for the head up.

@mastodonmigration why do we celebrate the demise of all the platforms we used to know and love.

nugget_in_biscuit,

@mastodonmigration It’s actually amazing how prescient that essay was
