I see it referenced constantly here, not quite as much on Reddit. I know what it means, but just wondering why such the popularity over on this side of the fence?

    Selection bias. Lemmy users by default are probably more sensitive to/negative about enshittification than those on reddit.

    Many of us came here in response to the enshittification of reddit.

    The term “enshittification” is a useful neologism because without it we’d need half a sentence to get the same concept across.

      I’d argue most of us are older but not too old to remember what the internet was as well.

      “What shit are you talking about?” asked the Redditors as they gleefully wallowed in the shit.
