Even if he was, why would this excite you? Whenever something goes mainstream, enshitification begins.

The obscurity of the Fediverse is not its defense from enshittification. The fact that it's so easy to move from server to server is.

If lemmy.world enshittifies, you can just move to lemmy.sdf.org without a big loss.

I think that lemmy could use more people.

Exactly! How do people not understand this yet? The decline of platforms isn't magic, it's very predictable and lemmy's core design is specifically meant to counter it. Think, people!

^/s^ no actually badness is directly proportional to the amount of users that's why the internet went to shit the moment more than 2 people connected

Yes, thank you

Enshittification comes from the profit motive, not from how popular something is.

I thought the white house actually runs their own mastodon instance when I read the headline. That would mark the point where mastodon reached mainstream use which is an incredible milestone.

Don't really care much for what Biden has to say at this point, but I'd prefer if various government orgs would all host their own instances. I don't want to go to a privately owned company to know about road construction or ballot box locations.
