What would be a good name for a federated Wikipedia?
Let’s say someone created a Wikipedia clone with Activitypub support, so you can freely read and edit articles on other servers. Basically the same way that Lemmy works. What would be a good name for such a project? Bonus points if the name goes with a cute animal mascot....

Why don't telemarketers give up on unresponsive numbers?
When receiving unsoliciting phone calls by telemarketers, many people consistently hung up, don’t bait, and don’t interact. So why don’t telemarketers delete from their databases such phone numbers that don’t lead to any sales or other business benefits?...

What is a term to describe expressing one's opinions with links and memes instead of words?
My views on things often differ from those in my social circle. I am often bombarded with article links and videos from people with no words of their own attached. It is very easy to send a link. It takes a bit of effort to form a coherent paragraph expressing a single thought....

What is the best Christmas gift you have received or given?
Is there any Lemmy mobile app without infinite scroll? EDIT: Nevermind, just found out that Voyager does it.
