Yeah craphound, of all the words you could have chosen... Jeez
@pluralistic "because it's accurate"
@pluralistic the fact it's caught on means it was the right word
@pluralistic Honestly the verbiage makes sense.
"The chocolate cream in our product is so expensive, why can't we use dog poo instead?"
"Trust me, the customers will never know the difference."
Enfuckification then?
@pluralistic answer: because God told me so.
I think it is a great word because it starts the conversation and it's deservedly angry
Why did you write that book "Do Not Build The Torment Nexus?
Now nobody wants to use my #tormentnexus !
@pluralistic Though does the term not do exact justice to the phenomenon described? The author of this e-mail should acknowledge that.
@pluralistic Can't think of many cases, where wording hits meaning as good as here.
Maybe we need a latinized Version, to enable entry into science speak? 🤪 Might that soothe spirits?
Proposing: >> merdificatio << ... with additional enhancement of merdificatio maior... for best enshittification by our much beloved big platforms.
@pluralistic Maybe for the sender enshittification is a *good* thing and he simply does not understand why you have coined a *bad* word for it?
@pluralistic
The irony of not minding the domainname of your mailserver at the same time when sending that feedback 😂
@pluralistic @cstross that is a very eloquent, completely pre-enshittification honest-to-$DIVINITY email. No notes.
@pluralistic I think it's the perfect word.
Scalzi's approach was to grade his hate mail for grammar, spelling, & cogency.
Brilliant!
