The carpetbombing of #USDS & #18F are a reminder that (as others have noted) the enshittification process described by @pluralistic applies not just to technology platforms, but other platforms like political movements; even governments themselves. "Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die."
