In an age of LLMs, is it time to reconsider human-edited web directories? in c/degoogle@lemmy.ml

Y'know, come to think of it, Wikipedia might be a better project to point to here. All the content on there is hand curated. When I'm interested in a subject, I usually go to wikipedia first instead of a search engine. Sometimes I am directed out to other websites from there.

I set up a quick keyword search so I can type "wp blah blah blah" into my url bar and it searches wikipedia.

Yeah. Sorry, I was hesitant to post links at first before I vetted them.

It looks like "Curlie" is the official continuation of the DMOZ project:

https://curlie.org/

The other ones I was seeing, it turns out, are static mirrors of 2017 DMOZ.

@ajsadauskas @degoogle

It looks like there's a couple projects to continue the directory DMOZ. I hope they're sharing work with each other!

"Well hey, now, let's not get hasty. If you investigate me for crimes, you will find that I committed crimes! That would be bad for mee. Is that really what you want?"

Okay, but if the social pressures were equal, which would you rather be?

Cuz, like, being scared of the social consequences of transitioning doesn't make you not trans.

@RileyIsBad

I'd be like "Oh boy, I just heard that this girl I like is gay!" and people would be like "Why does this make you excited? Doesn't that mean she won't want to date you?" and I'm like "Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm"
