I agree that it's a bit early to go all-in, but my counterargument to the "enshittification" meme at the heart of this is that maybe we shouldn't get too hung up on having permanent solutions. Sure, sometimes services get worse over time. But if it's not bad now and doesn't look like it's getting worse, speculating that it might go bad is like being unwilling to go to a new restaurant because sometimes restaurants don't maintain their quality or suddenly go out of business. True, but so what?
Good things sometimes come to an end, but they're still worth doing while they're still good. Twitter had a good run before it went bad. The BlueSky party is just getting started. Sure, many things aren't done yet, but we don't know how it's going to turn out.
