A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

We need Cory to coin a term for what comes after enshittification. Perhaps we can call it the Great Wipening, where we all stop paying to be treated like serfs and start taking back control of our content and data.

You missed an S in enShittification.

And I completely agree, Cory seems to be good at coining terms and making them stick 👍

Cheers. Fixed.

No we don't, we have 400+ years of capitalist history to tell us what comes next; Oligarchy, neo-feudalism...

People: Cory Doctorow didn't invent this concept. Read a book.

The whole point of this particular comment thread here is that we’re already starting to see what’s happening: people are taking back control. You’re here on Lemmy, proving that exact point.

I never said we needed Cory to tell us what comes next. Just come up with another colourfully descriptive term like he did with enshittification.

You sound like that insufferable ponytail from Good Will Hunting.
