I mean, if the main draw-card is convenience, then signal isn’t going to have much holding power (especially when combined with the network affect problem and attentions grabbing design of other message apps).
Signal will only really succeed if there is a critical mass of people in your circles who care about security to some degree (it works well for me for this reason).
Doesn’t every phone have an SMS app? What’s the benefit of having SMS in signal?
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.
