Exactly my thoughts. Selective whinging indeed.
Also meta-platitude whinging like
> The ideology of "winner takes all" is unsustainable and not supported by reality.
Sometimes the winner deserves to win, AND that's a good thing even at scale. It kindof depends.

- dwoldrich 8mo agoEnshittification usually means you are right over time. It still kindof depends. To be fair, I also dislike abstract platitudes that are overly optimistic as I think you might be. "Diversity is our strength"?? I mean, I guess diversity of _opinion_ is desirable to a point so we get all the ideas on the table. But not at the sacrifice of unity and shared goals. Unity is our strength. Discord and wasteful politicking are our undoing.
