The Enshittification of Centralized Social Platforms and Implications on the Japanese Media Fandom, or Why You should Join Mastodon/the Fediverse

This scene from Akiba Maid War describes what Twitter and Reddit is facing, a complete meltdown and enshittification, thus bringing their users down with them.

If you recall, I pleaded to explain why people should finally leave Twitter earlier this month. WordPress and several apps dropped support for it. Mastodon might look hard to use as the Fediverse looks like the Future of social networking.
