Enshittification is a symptom of capitalism at work. Over time products are laser-focused to be as profitable as possible. Scale isn’t the issue, capitalism is.
You’re totally right. Lemmy has no way of earning money outside of donations and the only way to earn money from donations is to make an actually good platform, no one will donate if it becomes shit.

Anything that gets that big turns into a shithole. Enshitification will find a way. So just don’t.

Religion is a superstructural element molded by the mode of production and utilized to reinforce it.
