If you've been sitting on making a post about your favorite instance, this could be a good opportunity to do so.

Going by our registration applications, a lot of people are learning about the fediverse for the first time and they're excited about the idea. I've really enjoyed reading through them :)

Duckduckgo? That's just a search engine, no?

I agree on the rest of the parts tho

[–] [email protected] 47 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, odd inclusion. Duckduckgo is indeed a search enginge, but it's essentially just a front end for Bing.

Sadly yes :( i've been keeping an eye on mojeek, hopefully it'll get better.

Ecosia is building a custom search engine index, ETA summer 2025

Very interesting, thanks for telling me - i recall them sharing your IP with bing/google? but since they're building their own, this may change. I'll keep an eye on this, thank you

Probably not, they sell your traffic data to plant trees, they're not privacy oriented its just that their greed serves a common good.

I’m so looking forward to that!

That sounds amazing!

DDG and Brave were pushed as "censorship free" alternatives, back when I was looking into covid disinformation, because the very obviously fake websites would sometimes rank higher on them

There may be more to it though

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I've heard all kinds of bad rumours about Brave but idk if any of it is true.

I mean yeah, doesnt matter. The point is people shared alternatives to big tech just like folks who are not in the power right now. Cause apparently x is musk's and it looks like the consensus is that rest of big tech is siding with Trump for profit

I mistook it as you saying DDG is alt-tech. My mistake
