Facebook hält uns als Geiseln, sagt Cory Doctorow (@pluralistic) und beschreibt in der Süddeutschen Zeitung vom Mi. 3.12., wie Plattformen systematisch schlechter werden. Erst nützlich, dann abhängig machend, schließlich unbrauchbar: Enshittification.

Lesenswertes Interview über digitale Mauern, Lock-ins und die Notwendigkeit von Interoperabilität.

"We can halt the creeping enshittification of every digital device. We can build a better, enshittification-resistant digital nervous system, one fit to coordinate the mass movements we will need to fight fascism, end genocide and save our planet and our species." - @pluralistic

Writer, activist and journalist #CoryDoctorow coined the term #enshittification as a means of explaining the state of the #digital world (or the #enshitternet and how it came to be. In his new #book “Enshittification: Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse and What to Do About It,” Doctorow details the policy choices that brought the #Internet to what it is today, and how organizing and joining a movement is our path forward.

No one paid attention to Cory Doctorow’s warnings about how the digital world is eroding human rights in the real world – until he got “a bit vulgar” about it.

Running a website costs money. If you want an alternative to the #enshitternet, you might need to consider the value in paying for a service, instead of expecting everything to be free.

Cory Doctorow with an excellent speech (hard to call it anything else - very well written, very well delivered) on enshittification of the internet. Way too many quotable lines to pick just one for the toot, so I'll just paste the link.
