Enshittification is always the end of most online platforms that aren’t federated because hosting costs money. Maintaining costs people. Which is more money. Especially as you scale out with popularity.
First step is ADs. But ad blockers prevent that revenue stream.
Second is monetization. (Reddit Gold or some premium BS)

I read “first step is active directories” and was super confused lol
You and me both… I’ve switched to ADDS for OG win server AD though.
There isn’t a guarantee that federation protects against enshitification. Email has effectively been captured by a few providers.
