    If it ain’t open-source and federated, it’s only a matter of time until it enshittifies too.

      Even federation isn’t a permanent solution. Mark my words, users will eventually act like changing instances is a high cost.

        I’d argue that that’s probably already the case. Sunk cost fallacy at play. Your posts, comments, blocks and stuff don’t follow you from one account to another.
