In an example of egregious planned obsolescence, as many as 400 million computers will soon hit the waste stream.

    Bar for you, great for me

    Just picked up 2 surface pro 5s for 100 and 70$ each, I bought dell optiplex 3010s for 25$ each

    Please Microsoft, enshittify and let these people get scammed by me

    When Microsoft stopped supporting Windows 8, just 3.7 percent of computers were using it, and just 2.2 percent of Windows users were using Windows 8.1 when Microsoft stopped supporting that operating system. “More than 40 percent of Windows users still use it,” Proctor said.

    Well there’s a fun fact. I think that just goes to show how terrible W11 really is…

    My 13 year old work computer’s Windows 10 got too broken so this week I ignored Microsoft’s opinions and did a fresh install of Windows 11 on it.

    Sadly I need Windows for software we use. Alas…

Welcome to Enshittification

A community for everyone who misspelt it as enshitification.

“I the onceler felt sad as I watched them all go, but business is business and business must grow, regardless of crummies in tummies you know.”

This is your space to document the decay, demise, and destruction of the tech world as we know it. Share stories, articles, and firsthand experiences that capture the ongoing decline of once-celebrated platforms, services, and companies in the late stage capitalist landscape.

From monopolistic corporate shifts to anti-user updates and the relentless pursuit of profit over quality—if it’s broken, bloated, or just plain bad, it belongs here. We’re here to spotlight the moves that make the tech world worse, one piece of enshittification at a time.

For some more positive takes
!disenshittify@lemmy.cafe !deshittification@thebrainbin.org

Guidelines
🔹 Stay on Topic: Only post content about the decline of tech products, platforms, or companies.
🔹 Quality Content: Give some context when posting links or articles to drive quality discussions.
🔹 Respectful Discussion: Critique companies, crappy tech, and capital, not community members.
🔹 Positive Monday: The first Monday of every month is reserved for positive content only that shows enshittification isn’t inevitable.

Join us to expose the changes that ruin the things we once loved and to discuss what comes next in a tech world gone wrong.
