Help us prevent “Enshittification” of our platform
“Cory Doctorow advocates for two ways to reduce enshittification: upholding the end-to–end principle, which asserts that platforms should transmit data in response to user requests rather than algorithm-driven decisions; and guaranteeing the right of exit—that is, enabling a user to leave a platform without data loss, which requires interoperability. These moves aim to uphold the standards and trustworthiness of online platforms, emphasize user satisfaction, and encourage market competition.”
We already have built in support for the right of exit. Anyone can leave our platform and export all of their data to take with them. You can help us to make decisions about our directions by submitting user requests via our contact form.
