Do you think Lemmy and other parts of the fediverse will eventually enshittify? I think this would be an interesting discussion to have. There currently is not financial incentive like the ones that have led centralized platforms to enshittify. But there might be in the future. Does decentralization protect against that tendency in some way?

Lemmy and Mastodon do give me the hope, that when one platform turns to shit, there will be people creating a platform that - for the time being - is not.

I like how old farts are just old farts because they're old. Young people are still farts too. They're just young farts, and will eventually be old farts. And the old farts of today, will eventually be dead farts.

We're all just farts. All in a fart vacume.

Just farting our way through life.

Gotta admit, I originally wrote "old farts" and "young shits", and decided that was too rude.
