The fact that so many people were taken aback by the enshittification of Discord really frustrates me. Just like with Reddit, just like with Bluesky. It really frustrates me that people still somehow get surprised by the most predictable shit.
If there ever is a mass exodus of Discord or Bluesky, it will be towards yet another alternative that will already have all of the signs of the same shit happening a few years later but once again, people will be surprised.
I don't even blame the average users for this, I honestly blame a lot of the people who have a say in these changes, notably tech journalist and so on, always going for the new shiny thing, like the Arc Browser for example, ignoring all of the telltale signs of future enshittifcation1, having no qualms serving as glorified advertisers for these types of product, and never giving a shit about decentralized alternatives or free and open source software.

Think startup companies making a proprietary system with no good revenue model other than venture capitalist investment. Bluesky, Discord and Arc Browser all fall pretty well into that definition. ↩︎
I made an email app inspired by Arc browser

(the fact that it’s on Twitter kinda diminishes the sentiment but when Timmy goes to movie night with Donnie the night this happens this is what we’ve got to work with)
But when Big Tech cannot, the indies, the boutique devs, and the startups need to stand above so good on him for that

ゆるコンピュータ科学ラジオで「Arc Browser」について話してたんだけど。それで改めて Arc について考えてみたけど。Dia にそんな良い未来はないよなぁ〜と。😅
生成AIうんぬん絡めたいのであれば。そのまま Arc の開発続けて。有料で生成AI使った機能を提供した方が良かったのではと。

So apparently Arc also go iCloud Passkey support which is super interesting!
