Anything that gets that big turns into a shithole. Enshitification will find a way. So just don't.
Enshittification is a symptom of capitalism at work. Over time products are laser-focused to be as profitable as possible. Scale isn't the issue, capitalism is.
You're totally right. Lemmy has no way of earning money outside of donations and the only way to earn money from donations is to make an actually good platform, no one will donate if it becomes shit.
The catholic church has entered the chat.
Religion is a superstructural element molded by the mode of production and utilized to reinforce it.
Yeah, but it was around before capitalism.
Capitalism is just one mode of production, religion has changed and shifted to suit each new mode of production over time.
Just look at every single big subreddit lmao. The only way to use that site is to leave every single default and join smaller communities.
I agree somewhat in the context of centralization. But the spread of the fediverse is a good thing. If Lemmy grows, alongside decentralization, then it should stay true to its roots.
