Enshittification
Welcome to Enshittification
A community for everyone who misspelt it as enshitification.
"I the onceler felt sad as I watched them all go, but business is business and business must grow, regardless of crummies in tummies you know."
This is your space to document the decay, demise, and destruction of the tech world as we know it. Share stories, articles, and firsthand experiences that capture the ongoing decline of once-celebrated platforms, services, and companies in the late stage capitalist landscape.
From monopolistic corporate shifts to anti-user updates and the relentless pursuit of profit over quality—if it’s broken, bloated, or just plain bad, it belongs here. We’re here to spotlight the moves that make the tech world worse, one piece of enshittification at a time.
Guidelines
🔹 Stay on Topic: Only post content about the decline of tech products, platforms, or companies.
🔹 Quality Content: Give some context when posting links or articles to drive quality discussions.
🔹 Respectful Discussion: Critique companies, crappy tech, and capital, not community members.
🔹 Positive Monday: The first Monday of every month is reserved for positive content only that shows enshittification isn't inevitable.
Join us to expose the changes that ruin the things we once loved and to discuss what comes next in a tech world gone wrong.

My 13 year old work computer's Windows 10 got too broken so this week I ignored Microsoft's opinions and did a fresh install of Windows 11 on it.
Sadly I need Windows for software we use. Alas...
I'm finding that distros like Nobara make it easy to run windows apps in a comfy, reliable environment, as they bundle wine and some tuned launcher apps. In my case it's games, but I bet if I can play Diablo - by a company known for really janky networking code - then lots of other apps may work really well.
Do what you need, but know the solution may already be ready when you are.
