No, it’s just basic communication skills. Which seems to be a tough ask these days.

  Cory Doctorow suggests using "platform decay" if the term enshittification bothers you. https://pluralistic.net/2024/10/14/pearl-clutching/ https://pluralistic.net/2024/10/14/pearl-clutching/ "just use one of the dozens of words that failed to gain public attention over the past 25 years".

    I've already written about 5 comments in this thread explaining why it's a poor choice of a word from a pragmatic point of view. I'm also not super interested in his rant about people criticizing his approach are just "pearl clutchers."

      > I've already written about 5 comments in this thread explaining [my opinion]. Other people have written more comments in this thread explaining a different opinion. It doesn't really matter how many times you've explained yours. For what it's worth, I think an ancestor comment to this one poignantly addresses a particular perspective: > The terminology is irrelevant. Senators and judges won't deal with this because they're being paid not to, not because there's a rude word in the name. It might help to tailor your arguments to this perspective as I suspect it is the most common one. I also get the feeling that's how Doctorow figures it's "pearl clutching": it's less about the "bad word" and more about the "profits".
