@davidakin This is the obvious solution for people who won't say "shit" #Enshittificatiion -> #Merdification sounds suitably cultured, short, easy to pronounce.

@hakona @davidakin @pluralistic Enshittification is a natural emergent property of the economic doctrine of crapitalism.

@lemgandi @hakona @davidakin @pluralistic Not cool to call people who are partially sighted on autocorrect typos, dude.

Uh, sorry. Both words made some sense, I wasn't sure what you meant.

I *love this*. As a translator... chef's kiss! 馃拫

"La merdification" - instant classic. Clean, straight to the point. Immediately recognizable to the EN/FR bilingual.

I am so going to be working that into my conversations.

English ones especially. Anglophones mostly won't know what I am saying, still worrying about their aunt's pen and a particular table. Or going to the library at all times of the day.

Thanks for posting about this. That was a good laugh.
