The Enshittification of Centralized Social Platforms and Implications on the Japanese Media Fandom, or Why You should Join Mastodon/the Fediverse

This scene from Akiba Maid War describes what Twitter and Reddit is facing, a complete meltdown and enshittification, thus bringing their users down with them.
