ok, I hate ‘enshittification’ / platform decay.

How do we stop this? Lets brainstorm ways that we can push back against this.

What are some examples of things that are NOT becoming prone to ‘enshittification’ / platform decay.

Then we can build and have platforms that stop this from happening, I would love to hear solutions.

Brainstorming: some subreddits are still going strong despite the overall (ipo/shareholder-driven) downturn. Some extremely niche hobby forums are still alive and well, eg. FountainPenNetwork. Specific software help/discussion forums are alive, eg. Autodesk. Those are a few places I can think of where it seems that where real humans congregate and have real conversations. Not sure how useful that is, but thinking out loud.

If it is profit driven it will turn to crap no matter what.
