Re last boost. I remember there was a site called #DMOZ back in the day. I think like a lot of good ideas it was just before it’s time. Imagine a Wikipedia like version of that where it was a curated list of links sorted by category and sub category. With human editors to remove broken lists and weed out AI spam.

@mjgardner @clayote @iacore IIRC DMOZ tried to do a significant redesign (gray text, lots of whitespace) shortly before it was shut down; And yes, AFAIK it became Curlie.

(And uh, yes, it's offline!?)

@clayote @iacore Yah, #Yahoo! inspired “Gnuhoo,” then @fsf complained, so it was renamed NewHoo. Then Yahoo! chimed in, and while they were casting about for a new name, #Netscape acquired it and renamed it #DMOZ. #AOL acquired Netscape and eventually shut down DMOZ in 2017.

@researchfairy You just gave me a DMOZ Open Directory Project flashback...

Sadly we are not allowed to have or keep nice things.

@evan @BeAware What about the Open Directory Project - #Dmoz? Domains have been approved millions of times.

Bonjour les #LGBT #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA #Queer francophones
En ce moment, je fais un focus sur les associations sur #Curlie (ex #DMOZ). Est-ce qu'il vous semble manquer une asso dans ce listing (y compris les catégories) ? https://curlie.org/fr/Soci%C3%A9t%C3%A9/Personnes/Gays%2C_lesbiennes%2C_bisexuels_et_transgenres/Associations/

Si oui, me le signaler à la suite de ce toot (ça visibilisera le ou les liens) et partagez au besoin pour toucher les LGBT de Masto qui ne suivent pas les hashtags précités.

Curlie - Société: Personnes: Gays, lesbiennes­, bisexuels et transgenre­s: Associatio­ns

I still remember when #DMOZ closed. What has replaced it, or does no such thing exist any more? (Specifically interested in free ones.)

https://searchengineland.com/dmoz-has-officially-closed-271530

DMOZ has officially closed after nearly 19 years of humans trying to organize the web

The closure marks the final end of a chapter of humans trying to organize the web.

@sebsauvage en tant qu'ancien éditeur #DMOZ (#curlie), je dois avouer qu'une IA aurait été la bienvenue pour trier le flot de liens merdiques proposés par les SEO sans vergogne. Et aussi pour proposer des notices qui respectent les guidelines.
