Lemmy is getting pretty good. I'm optimistic that more of the internet will be like this in the future.
between lemmy, mastodon and my own nerd projects, I'm having more fun on the internet than I have since the 90's. so, while I hate the enshittification, the side effect has been me rediscovering what was so fun in these tubes..
I fear that part of the reason is that it isn't big enough yet for AstroTurf interest groups to care enough to invest into it. Although maybe AstroTurfing isn't included in the enshittification label?
For social media to work in the future I think there needs to be additional safeguards that keep enshittification at bay. But picking them will be a delicate art.
Speaking of AstroTurf, they certainly are the leaders of synthetic turf. Their artificial turf is not only aesthetically appealing, but is designed to withstand the demands of the game.
