Enshitification
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.

Motorolas are cool for custom roms and Xiaomi are pretty open for a chinese brand.
However don't go to non snapdragon chips and the latter brand you have to create a Xiaomi account and wait 15 days to unlock the bootloader.
I had to get a new phone recently and since I was on a budget, went with a Motorola.
If got enough money though go for a pixel.
Be warned, they just restricted their bootloader unlocking even more. Now you can only unlock 1 device a year. The waiting period annoyed me so much at the time, for my Redmi Note 8 Pro I had to wait 168h, 1 week. I'm not doing that anymore.
Fuck them then, always hated the 15 days. Now by chance even more no way I buying or recommending them again.
