Nah, this is one more landmark on the eventual enshitifcation of every platform, only happening because as company that is publicly traded. Someone at Reddit HQ realized that they could make more money off new french users than the cost of ads. So then they have a fiduciary duty to do exactly that. Just like the reddit API-ocalypse, the finical benefits data from every redditors mobile being forced to use the official app was determined to be more profitable than those who would be pissed enough to leave.
Either Lemmy dies or it grows enough to do the same eventually.
Well but as far as I am aware Lemmy has no fiduciary responsibility, as it is not a corporation, is open source and uses a web standard to communicate. Therefore there is no requirement for instance server managers to use the "official" version of Lemmy and could refuse to implement anti-user features, like specific app requirements. So I would say it would be really really hard to enshittificate Lemmy, if not borderline impossible, because users would just use their own fork, which would still be interoperable.
But lemmy cant be controlled like a company
Maybe it gets smaller because people switch to piefed or something but i dont see how lemmy can enshitify the way corpo platforms can
A particular instance could absolutely enshittify, but it being easy(ish) to move off any particular instance if that happens makes it both less likely and the impact of it smaller.
they have to expand thier user base, after purging so many from the platform recently, and its being held up by bots currently,.
