Why YSK: If we want to keep the Fediverse in the hands of its users and prevent “enshittification” (search it), it’s good to know how corporations kill grassroots projects like this.

I saw this in another thread on /c/Showerthoughts. I think it’s important for this to be circulated widely so that the broader Fediverse community is aligned. We don’t want admins second-guessing their decisions when users start infighting. We should be united in our thinking and ready to protect our platform.

    Embrace, extend, extinguish. Google also did that to rss/atom.

      Annoying. RSS is a superior platform for sitting through the firehose of content.

      You can still use it of course, and I do. It’s just annoying that it’s largely unheard of.

      • So many sites don’t even provide RSS anymore. It used to come enabled out of the box for every content management system, now only in the large old ones like Drupal.
