Ah, right. In a way that's even better - you were stacking up comparably against competition.

Maybe you mean figuratively?

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.

It's not saying her voting is similar to Sanders, it's saying her voting is MORE similar to Sanders than other senators. Those are two very different things.

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/
