Because 2023 wasn't?

To elaborate: what Reddit did this year wasn't enough for a (major) mass migration. I very much doubt even more ads will deter those that have stuck around so far. Perhaps there'll be a trickle, but I don't see anything happening like what was the case for Digg back in the day.

This will trigger an enshittification cycle.

1. Underperformance per-quarter resulting in anti-user actions to increase profits.
1. Users leave because of anti-user actions.
1. Profits will decrease as users leave until the end of quarter.
1. Return to Step 1.

This sounds like accelerationism. 🤣

The thing is, I'm pretty sure you nailed it.

I mean it will help Lemmy. But It certainly will result in more EEE attempts on the fediverse.

We just gotta make like Naruto when he's learning to hijack the kyuubi chakra for himself!

Smaller instance admins are ready for defederating big websites in the event of adopting ActivityPub. Bluesky server owners should have the power to filter out content and defederate from other servers.
