The overuse of the word enshittification drives me crazy.

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 82 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Enshittification of "enshittification"

/s

Ekshuliiii.. it should be Enshittificursion or Reshittification. Inception means something else.

I'll show myself out.

[–] p03locke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 1 year ago

Yeah, it has a very specific meaning, and people are now using it to mean "things becoming shitty". Just because "shit" is the base word doesn't mean that's what the whole word means.

Yes, thank you! I thought I was the only one. I feel like an old man yelling at the clouds every time I see it.

[–] Steeve@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago

Feels like it's always been a buzzword for whatever someone doesn't like right now

[–] burliman@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thank you. I think it was overused even the moment it was used for its intended purpose. It feels really im14andthisisedgy to me.

I'm actually really glad we're hearing it.

It's a sign that people are finally starting to have higher standards.

I think those with low standards would get upset. Nobody likes to admit they're being taken advantage of.

It’s Lemmy’s “play stupid games…” variant

[–] ModsAreCopsACAB@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Are they wrong for using a word correctly? Or are you wrong for being a bitch about it? Hmmm.

[–] chris@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Underuse IMO. We’ve grown complacent in so many regards.

[–] atetulo@lemm.ee -2 points 1 year ago

What do you mean 'overuse'?

It's just now entering our vernacular.
