This is the angry, raw, user side of what @pluralistic@mamot.fr refers to as "enshittification". This is the user experience that I have had over and over again. This absolutely deserves a read, and will hopefully inspire lots of us to fight like hell to keep corpo interests out of our free exchange of ideas and fediverse.

I am not a product. I am not a program. I am a user.
