It is what it isn’t?
If they are actually funny, don’t punch down too much, and can turn it off when needed.
It’s not good if that’s your whole personality.
Absolutely. They can’t use it back.
Ah, right. In a way that’s even better - you were stacking up comparably against competition.
Except Kyle Gass
Even if you only have a 10% chance of winning, if you take a chance like that 10 times then it’s more than 65% likely that you’ll succeed at least once
She wouldn’t have done it on the outcome of a coinflip if she wasn’t at least partly interested.
The best advice I’ve heard along those lines is: “It’s more important to be interested than interesting”
Ironically, I reckon the more interested you are in people and things, the more interesting you become, because you learn and gain a more diverse understanding of the world, and then you are able to interact with more depth with more people.
I don’t know, but it could be interesting to try. I could easily imagine topic-focussed servers that go into more depth on specific topics. Perhaps you would only federate things that are at a high level, or directly linked. Kinda like a wiki, but with each community doing it’s own decentralised curation and moderation…
I haven’t seen any spam on Lemmy yet, and only a tiny amount on mastodon (I’m much more active there).
Man, their website is pretty off-putting. Where’s the get-started/dive-in type page? How do I use the thing?
You can do that with NoScript too. Is the Umatrix UI any better, or are there other benefits?
Nope. Died like Digg and a bunch of others. There’s a run down here (which I only quickly skimmed): https://productmint.com/what-happened-to-stumbleupon/
What would be really cool would be an open source, federated version of DMOZ
Yeah! StumbleUpon was cool. Something about how it tried to engender serendipity.
Such a pity that so many other good recommendation engines died or succumbed to enshittification.
Support for genocide in Israel seems like the obvious one
“I’ve got conviction, Trump’s got convictions” seems like a good slogan.
I wonder when Dyson is going to bring out their arse-sized airblade?
I reckon if you focus on learning how to learn in your 20s, then you can really head off that aging problem in a big way (not completely, but a fair bit).
