I like the term "enshitification" -- to me it describes where we've been for about 17 years. are we emerging from it? are we entering the age of deshitification?
to me it means no longer typing into tiny little shitboxes for writing. this is no way to treat a human being.
OTOH, basically every user and admin is a vol who chooses to be here, so downside to separating front and back end apps is an increased attack surface (arguably), more code to write and debug, etc.
As admins, it means 2x the big reports and vuln docs to look at, manage, discuss, mitigate, etc which I think scares off some folks who might run instances, too.
@wurzbacher I get your point but I think it's fair to say the decentralization of the different coding project and their current healthy maintenance coupled with things like @cloudron or @yunohost or even managed hosting of fedi apps makes the whole thing much easier to handle. Add to that #crowdsec and it's doable? 😅
None of those things helped with the recent Lemmy issue, for example.
Very easy to do that inadvertently, esp once we start breaking things down into those component parts - especially for the folks running instances who aren’t as confident in some of this.
