One thing to keep an eye on today, #EnshittificationDay, and the days ahead, if there is another surge into the #Fediverse, is how well we handle the increased load.

Back with the first #twittermigration the network struggled for days. Are we now better prepared to accommodate new users?

If you can, make a contribution to help insure we have the means to grow to meet tomorrow's needs.

@mastodonusercount has been way down lately. Don't know if something has been wrong with it.

But it is spiking right now to over 3000 new users per hour.

Edit: 4000+ now!

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.
