@pluralistic I keep being amazed by how deeply rooted the fear of supposedly dirty words is in some people.
I see so many who censor their own writing even in private messages. Like, writing f**k instead of fuck.
@pluralistic I think this is fan mail. 💌
@pluralistic Yeah Cory, like have you even considered regional variations? It's Endumpification in southern England, Enshiteification in the north (shortened from Enbagofshiteification), and Enseeyouseyoumassivejobbyification in Scotland.
@freequaybuoy @pluralistic am reminded of the Scots translation of The Twitts
fwiw even the Swedish public media has gone with "förskitning" as the translation to use and it really rolls of the tongue here :D
@troed @freequaybuoy @pluralistic Polish language has a couple of attempts here. One is "enszitifikacja," which is a straight cliche. The other one is "gównowacenie," which is a transaltion. But the best one is "gównia pochyła," which is a play on words with "równia pochyła" (slippery slope), where "slope" is tranformed into "shit." The rationale is that once you're on it, you just roll down, and there's no going back.
(I also saw "rozpierdoszana," but I don't even know how to explain it. :D)
@pluralistic maybe they should take a look at your domain name and reflect
Not to be confused with enshittfiction, which is just past the non-enshittfiction section.
@pluralistic missed chance to criticize the term for being shitty
@pluralistic This word is just right.
Because "emmerdement" already existed.
@pluralistic tell them they can call it e13n if they want to be cool about it
@pluralistic do they propose alternatives or just complain about the one that people understand?
@pluralistic Love the language of this one.
@pluralistic warning: no one take branding advice from this person.
@pluralistic I suppose you could reduce or abbreviate it to "nshitt" for the modern reader, or "etm" for the classically inclined? Perhaps the lad has a point even if missing an i?
@pluralistic Maybe this person forgot to put this through their AI business speak translator. But to me the word is perfect as it sounds accurate upon first hearing it.
Enshittfication is like enshittification on steroids!
(or concentrated prune juice really)
