The technofascists were never going to sit idly by and let the biggest collective repository of information just run around un-enshittified.

For almost two decades, I have been amazed at how well Wikipedia has been doing, and dreading the inevitable attacks.

We've seen this pattern playing out many, many many times now. Reddit's board was colonized around 2015, for one example. Everyone can see Mozilla going down the tubes with leadership actively trying to destroy anything that could make it a good and open alternative to the megacorps browsers. The people with backgrounds in venture capital or Microsoft or Amazon etc etc moving in on good sites and services, changing the priorities, letting the poison in. Evil, making offers people can't refuse, throwing around endless money and let's face it threats too, put NOTHING past them. It's an attack-- this is war. And they're out to eat EVERYTHING.

All of our access to information, news, history, communication, they want ALL of it swallowed down an endless abyss of propaganda and surveillance.

We've got to fight like hell, or they'll take all the light and breath and light in the whole world and future generations won't even get to remember.
