Lots of venture capital money behind it. I wonder how quickly the enshitification will begin.

I see they’re making a play for that sweet “I liked this before it went public and got enshittified so I’m gonna switch to this other one that hasn’t gone public and gotten enshittified yet and hope it gets popular enough that it goes public and gets enshittified” cash.

Yes, the "yet" is doing all the work here. Along with a heft dose of "Digg was great" for those of its who used it and, well, the inevitable enshittification that all PE-led startups follow. And Rose has proven he's no exception.

A bit like Bluesky, where the USP is "just like Xitter, but without Elmo at the helm". The days are numbered, etc.
