Check out the business lifecycle. "Enshittification" occurs after a business reaches maturity and has to squeeze more money out of its users or decline. Facebook, Reddit, and Twitter are all businesses, so they follow this cycle - Lemmy and Mastodon are not so they do not. That's not to say that bad moderation can't crater a user base, but it's not inevitable like it is with businesses.

No it isn't, it's because you want to dictate the terms of the conversation, which, again, leaves zero room for any admittance that Putin isn't the only one who caused this situation.

Everyone who ever asked me shit like that was never interested in having a discussion, just in purity tests. What I think should happen to Putin has no bearing on what caused this.

However, please keep this in mind - that being a Nazi sympathizer does not automatically invalidate one's opinions on other topics.

If you think that Nazis are worth sympathy, then you've demonstrated that your decision-making ability is warped enough that it does invalidate your other opinions.

We do a new Megathread every day and lock the old one to keep discussion current. We wouldn't lock a whole megathread because of one unimaginative impotent weasel Nazi sympathizer.

You can get addicted to second hand smoke, I remember when my dad said stopped smoking in the car and going through withdrawal when I was nine or so. So when I started smoking in my teenage years it was really just a relapse
