I think it's supposed to like the en- in entrenched. To be trenched would be to be put in a trench but to be entrenched, well, that's when you already got trenched. Now have been inside the trench. The tench is all around you and you're stuck in a mire. So things get shittified, then they stay that way until they just get mired, I mean just completely covered, in shit. At that point they are enshittified. Trenched is a made up word, but so is enshittified. I guess Doctorow could have called it shitslapped or shatblasted or whatever.

badposting is a comm where you post badly
This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.
Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?
Rules:
- Do not post good posts.
- Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
- Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
- This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
- This rule intentionally left blank.
- If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.
Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

Enshatblasted, if you will
I don't like the word because it comes across like general whining about any and everything not being like the "good 'ol days" with a hint of immaturity. It's a shame because I don't think Doctrow meant for it to take off outside the context of his books where it has a very specific meaning. He's also used the term "platform decay" which is I guess less fun.
Do most words convey anything? Honest semi-rhetorical question.
nah
especially not in english
I feel like most of them do, but every year a handful just get stripped of all meaning they ever had and then the cycle repeats.
Shittification - Becoming shit
Enshittification - Becoming covered in shit
It's Tomato/Potato which you prefer
It's not very entergaging
I just called it capitalism and I got owned so hard by facts and logic I needed to shrink down into a tankie: 🎽🎽🎽
