Same, I have tried DDG every once in a while but kept going back to google. Now google search doesn’t quite give me relevant results anymore and all the AI crap just takes all of their effort to work on search itself.

Been using DDG for a few weeks now for personal and work related stuff - quite happy with it.

I also use lemmy (voyager app is awesome) but kbin also has an awesome app called Artemis, which got inspired by apollo for reddit.

Didn’t know about this project, thanks for the tip!

Loved Kbin, but yeah the slow development made me come back to lemmy as well.

I know that long time ago this was one of the things that freaked me out. I went into google account privacy settings and there is a lot of info about you. It really creeps you out when you see info from years ago.

Yup. I had never heard of the fediverse and so glad I got introduced to it with the added benefit of many others doing so as well (so there is content and activity here).

Can vouch for this method, I did something similar and just updated my email on services in order of my entries in password manager.

Lots of drama, sometimes defederations would make headlines on world news.

Finally, hope my local public services decide to do the same soon.

It’s bit ridiculous that I see info from the local police on Xitter before I see it on their website, but I could accept that if it was on Mastodon instead of Xitter.

Thanks for telling me about Voyager, I feel like I finally found the app for me!

That’s a bummer… Well my name is there, as useless as it may be.

Signed. Although I wanted to ask if it has any value if it was signed by someone from outside of France/not French?

I am sorry to do this to you, but I have minimum of 30 tabs open at all times. Send help.

I feel like I’ve seen way more meme accounts on mastodon rather than on pixelfed, since reboosting works pretty nicely and you have a higher reach. Maybe try mastodon?

AFAIK enabling cloudfare’s anti-DDoS breaks federation quite a bit.

Kbin.social had to enable it during reddit migration to stop the server from crashing due to all the traffic and it made it pointless trying to interact with other instances and fediplatforms.

This comment, I felt a call to it, like I need to comment: now by two active users.
