I was thinking either Spez’d or Musked. E.g: Reddit got Spez’d when they killed 3PA.

But the funny thing is that both Spez and Musk were AHoles to the degree that Spez’d and Musked already have their own meaning. Just check urbandictionary

    To clarify, I was using lemmy.ml as my example. Right now, Kbin, Lemmy.ml, and Lemmy.world are all roughly tied for user base size. If that pattern continues, you can probably avoid enshittification by including features such as tha ability to port accounts (which is supposedly coming) and entire communities (which I’m not aware of).

    One of the unavoidable vulnerabilities in the Lemmyverse is that you have to host a community on a specific server. That means that even if we have a ton of self-hosted instances, the big communities are going to end up on big instances. And whoever controls those instances can in turn control a lot of the Lemmyverse.

    I know it would probably annoy some users, but I would support adding donation buttons directly to the interface of Lemmy / Kbin. Or at least making it explicit that they want donations.

      What a thoughtful comment! Both of these abilities are going to be so important to enable users to migrate as soon as things go wrong yeah.

      I wouldn‘t mind more prominent donation buttons either, at least as long as it doesn‘t move or flash like an ad would.
