Wednesday. I’ve been doing that for years. It’s nice because it feels relaxing and still part of the work week, so still productive.

I can usually swap it for a Monday or Friday with a week or so’s notice, if I want to take a long weekend some time.

Also I get more public holidays than if I took Monday off.

Pity, 'cause it’s a great question, and a great trope. I can think of a few good examples. Maybe it’s time to start a TVTropes account and get editing.

I mean, I guess you have the name for it

I say “good luck” in a non-sarcastic tone to people whenever they head off on some banal errand. It gets some confused looks sometimes, laughs others.

Spotted the Radiohead fan

That’s a lot of people, I doubt you have the stamina

This is my favourite too. I have a very sesquipedalian friend, and I had the honour of introducing him to the word.

Lolwut? Didn’t realise they were serving ads on maps too, that’s hectic

Better a moderation system that has a few false positives than a system that allows nazi and fascist accounts to flourish.

Absolutely. They can’t use it back.

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.
