That was an excellent read and something I’ve observed many times but failed to describe so well. I really like the analogy of the big teddy bear.

Is it possible for Lemmy to become enshittified? If so, how? Given that it has federation at it’s core and it’s not owned by any one entity, wouldn’t the greater community just abandon the bad instance and self heal, like a lizard loses it’s tail?

I understand how federation could die, like what Google Talk did to XMPP, but not how Cory’s described process would affect Lemmy.
