Dull Men's Club
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Unfortunately, they do make little changes. The largely visible UI changes are there to hide those small little changes.
Changes that remove little features that nobody would notice immediately, until someone needs it and realises it's gone, or someone wants it the first time and is unable to find it, later finding out in older forum posts, that it was actually there in earlier versions and worked perfectly.
These little features are the kinds that provide power to the user while not particularly making a big difference in the companies' wallets.
If they really had a lot of Dev time and wanted to do something useful, they would have read wishlist reports from users for little additions that would help them. But that does not happen.
I understand this is not a "Dull Men's" answer, but sometimes things need to be said. And this seemed like the correct point.
100%. Covering up enshittification is often the reason for changing the UI, and sometimes the UI change is indeed the enshittification.
