    No, not worse. It’s just not decentralized in a meaningful sense, so it suffers from the same enshittification problems that have killed Twitter, Reddit, BoingBoing, Digg, Slashdot…

    Fundamentally, it’s not any worse, but it’s not any better either.

        I don’t agree that the idiom implies “worse”. In trying to escape being burnt in the frying pan, you’re getting burnt in the fire. Either way, you’re getting burnt.

          You don’t get to decide how language works.

          It implies going from a bad situation to a worse one, and has from the moment it existed.

            Fine. It’s not the right idiom to express the point.

            Point is still valid, even if I initially expressed it poorly.
