@rodhilton Aw fuck. Hey, what's #dmoz doing these days?

EDIT: Answered my own question, apparently the Open Directory Project replaced it!

Asking a crawler or any automatized bot to recognize decolonized knowledge is something impossible.
I think we should temporarily go back to a good old web directory of decolonized content. Highlighting such a content to make it easier for it to spread.

2/2

@reidrac this reminds me of Directory MOZilla, how is it now, #dmoz was shut down and the content was used for #curlie? How many directories are there on the web nowadays?

@judell @jgordon @atomicpoet :1000: And we can sort these list the way #Dmoz - Open Directory Project did. We even have open access to the ontology somewhere.

"Curlie is a Web directory, not a search engine. Although we offer a search query, the purpose of Curlie is to list and categorize web sites. We do not rank, promote or optimize sites for search engines. Curlie is simply a data provider. Its data users, such as Google, Yahoo, and AOL, install their own search functionality on their sites. Curlie has no influence or knowledge on how these search engines process search queries."

Thanks to your post, I went to see out if DMoz is still a thing, and found its successor:

@andybaio Agreed. However: #Wikipedia is both a directory and a search engine. :)

"In many ways, Wikipedia has replaced #DMOZ as a source of reference information".

(#Wikidata and other #Wikimedia projects also provide links to a gazillion niche websites, but it's harder for most people to search that information.)

Today I heard about the #SearchEngine known as #Gigablast for the first time ever. Thanks to poking around #Curlie, which was linked from an article on Wikipedia and which is apparently a #WebDirectory and a successor to #DMOZ. A web directory is something I'd never touched in many, many years...but now that I've tried it I think it might be useful in some ways.

Curlie is busy collecting url's, check out https://curlie.org

#curlie #dmoz #directory

Going through my giant box of stickers today and came across this classic. If you’re ancient on the web or in search, you know. #DMOZ

Did you know that DMOZ.org is now Curlie.org?

https://curlie.org/en

DMOZ was the internet directory from 1998. People use it to find websites before Google Search era and contribute website's URLs to it before Wikipedia era. It was discontinued and succeeded by Curlie in 2017.

Boost is very appreciated.

Are there any former editors of #dmoz, aka the open directory project on here? Just to know if there are ontologists of the gecko 🦎​

@stux @Stuxhost If you had asked me 20 years ago, I would have said #DMOZ.
