Do you think Lemmy and other parts of the fediverse will eventually enshittify? I think this would be an interesting discussion to have. There currently is not financial incentive like the ones that have led centralized platforms to enshittify. But there might be in the future. Does decentralization protect against that tendency in some way?

Lemmy and Mastodon do give me the hope, that when one platform turns to shit, there will be people creating a platform that - for the time being - is not.

The mods and admins are the real risk. Not saying that they are, but they can very likely become the ones who ruin lemmy

Yeah. The blast radius for stupid is higher with more power. See: physics.
