People have flocked to Bluesky and Threads. But the new platforms risk repeating a pattern that has caused social media giants to turn against their own users.

Why are people talking about useless social networks and not the ones that actually matter?

Lets talk Github people. Can Github escape the enshittification trap? Because not even Sourceforge escaped enshittification... and Github is now owned by Microsoft.

Going with no, Github won't escape it because "enshittification" is just "monetization" to all of the corporations making those decisions.
