- MereInterest 5y agoSlow to navigate, but far less vulnerable to corruption. Each link was intentionally made by a human, vouching for its integrity and usefulness. Each link is followed only if I trust a site enough to believe its recommendation.
- sseagull 5y agoSlow to navigate, but amenable to “browsing” and finding related pages and sites. Think of it as a built-in recommendation engine.
- hypertele-Xii 5y agoMaybe being slow to navigate is actually a feature, standing against the endless algorithmic torrent of 5 second tiktok videos and meme doomscrolling. You're supposed to take your time checking out cool shit people make for the love of it.
