Welcome to Enshitification

A community for everyone who didn't realise it was spelled 'enshittification'.

This is your space to document the decay, demise, and destruction of the tech world as we know it. Share stories, articles, and firsthand experiences that capture the ongoing decline of once-celebrated platforms, services, and companies in the late stage capitalist landscape.

From monopolistic corporate shifts to anti-user updates and the relentless pursuit of profit over quality—if it’s broken, bloated, or just plain bad, it belongs here. We’re here to spotlight the moves that make the tech world worse, one piece of enshittification at a time.

Guidelines
🔹 Stay on Topic: Only post content about the decline of tech products, platforms, or companies.
🔹 Quality Content: Give some context when posting links or articles to drive quality discussions.
🔹 Respectful Discussion: Critique companies, crappy tech, and capital, not community members.
🔹 Positive Monday: The first Monday of every month is reserved for positive content only that shows enshittification isn't inevitable.

Join us to expose the changes that ruin the things we once loved and to discuss what comes next in a tech world gone wrong.

How long have you been logged in? Now it pretends to send an SMS code, but I never received one.

For around a year.

It may also be that your phone number is flagged as dubious if you have used it many times to log in, to avoid people using online temporary numbers.

I don't think so. I tried different numbers from different countries, even brand new SIM cards. Viber and Telegram also behave this way.

But shouldn't the sms arrive regardless of the phone being rooted or not?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They just don't send SMS, but they act as if they did.

That's weird, it worked for me a while ago on a rooted Lineage phone. I sms verified both Telegram and WhatsApp
