    Enshittification is inevitable for centralized corporate platforms. Open source platforms are the only sustainable option. I think most people knew that but didn’t think it could happen to reddit, and they learned the hard way that even reddit will die in time. If it were open-source then it would be relatively simple to simply move to a new website when the leadership became unbearable. I don’t know if Lemmy or Mastodon can be the next reddit-like platform, but we’ve clearly crossed the Rubicon now.
