I’ve realized it’s something I’ve been guilty of doing ever since a lot of the things I used to love started getting heavily enshittified

I do try to deal with seeing this kind of comment by also considering how annoying and disappointing it is seeing things you liked get worse. !deshittification@thebrainbin.org (not my community) for a bit more positivity, for "here's stuff you can actually do to change things for the better, instead of just complaining on the internet". I figure it is better to channel that rage productively in a way that helps me leave for better alternatives, instead of in a way that does not make life better in any way besides relieving the emotion. Maybe someone else's if my angry comment is the tipping point for a reader to leave the enshittified product, but…

But yeah. I both feel the outrage, and feel like expressing it without pointing to alternatives is often only giving others more fuel to doomscroll with. (And yes, I also unfortunately sometimes post angrily without adding anything constructive! Just check my comment history…) I thank you for your thoughtful reply and totally get where you are coming from. My comment probably comes across way more castigating towards you than I want it to be—I really appreciate your reaction.
