I highly recommend reading Dinosaurs: New Visions of a Lost Word by Michael Benton. It’s written by one of the people who worked on this research, it’s neatly explained (along with a ton of other interesting things from the history of paleontology), there are absolutely adorable illustrations and it’s written with a great sense of humour.
From December 1, 2012, until January 31, 2013, a stylistic disagreement unfolded between editors on the English-language Wikipedia as to whether the word “into” in the title of the Wikipedia article for the 2013 film Star Trek Into Darkness should be capitalized. More than 40,000 words were written on the article’s talk...
Uh. Just render it however it is rendered on the movie poster, or if push comes to shove its trademark filing. Then go do something with the rest of your life.
So simple! Why didn’t they think of that? Oh, wait.
Also worth pointing out that said wikipedia editors were almost certainly 99% Star Trek nerds. Who else would be discussing something like that on the talk page?
Yeah, I’m within the reach of wifi almost constantly. Only need to call or send an SMS very rarely, so I’m quite happy to just have credit as backup. I get the feeling my provider would really love to get me on some monthly plan, but that ain’t happening if I can help it.
Worst is it gets you into the mindset of “I have this much for the month so I might as well use it” and influence you to use it more. I don’t want that.
I don’t know if others are experiencing a similar situation. My all feed is very sparse with engagement. If I sort top six hours or by top 12 most posts have between 5-10 comments. I feel like there was more in the past? Is engagement dropping off? I’m on lemmy.world as my instance.

YouTube wants me to watch a 4m30s ad for middle-aged men who want to stay healthy. I won’t watch it. Hence, it never goes away....

Has community engagement dropped off suddenly?
