Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•enshittification is inherent to our culture and the only thing that prevented it in the past was slow communication.
2·1 day agoI’d recommend reading Enshittification by Cory Doctorow if you’re interested in the subject. He argues that there are some specific causes. To name a few:
- The US has been lax on enforcing antitrust laws, meaning there are fewer and larger companies, and less competition forcing them to not be shitty
- The power of these large companies has also allowed regulatory capture
- Technology has allowed them to do a lot more shitty things and obfuscate bad practices. This includes being able to communicate faster as well as other things.

That’s true. I assumed it was more of a cure for aging. But OP did say “live forever” and “not dying”, so I’d agree that I don’t want those.

1·4 days agoI still see posts on lemmy.world that haven’t gone out to other instances, e.g. https://lemmy.world/post/39794227 (not visible from my instance or others I’ve tested). Will this sync eventually or is it lost?
edit: also, just curious, is there a way to force a post like this to federate if it didn’t initially?
Y’all are crazy, I’d take immorality in a heartbeat if anyone was offering.
It’s nothing special but it’s always there for you. It’s like the one that’s been waiting while you’ve chased after other beverages and had your heart broken, and then you realize it was the one all along. tl;dr you friendzoned water
