I find the results to be cleaner and more relevant at least. With Kagi the relevant link is usually first or second link (like Google used to be) and the same search on Google I sometimes have to scroll down about 3-4 pages till I get to something relevant. Worse some of the ads Google is pushing to the top are misleading or completely contrary to what I’m looking for.

Kagi allowing me to ban domains (bye bye pinterest) and boost others has also been pretty helpful.

In China or the US?

You can sign up for a trial with 100 searches.

As for what is good, searches tend to pull up relevant info that is not buried under a bunch of seo shit. You can block, downgrade, and upgrade domains (I have blocked Pinterest from all my search results for instance). It’s just a very good experience. And long term I feel more confident in their user experience since their profit motivation is not tied to serving you up ads.

My biggest complaint is the 300 searches a month seems a little low.

But give the 100 free searches a shot. I have been very happy with them.

I was told the trolls stayed at Reddit. This one is such a low effort too. Try harder, troll better.

Right here I reckon. Reddit is pretty well covered here.

As toxic as Reddit is, it is a huge wealth of information if you can search and parse it. It also encourages small niche topics that wouldn’t get any attention without a huge audience to draw from. If Reddit is no longer going to feed that role, I hope SOMEPLACE becomes that kind of place in the future. If it’s the Fediverse nothing stops instances from creating smaller communities within it. Could be best of both worlds. Or it could ruin it. I guess I don’t know.

Windows 7 was peak Microsoft fwiw. Interface wise at least.

You say that like it’s a bad thing!

Since they are restoring deleted comments purging your content isn’t doing much more. What a scum bag company. Lol

I think I will wait a bit to try and delete mine. Hopefully they get tired of cat and mouse delete game.

I haven’t had time to watch it but this guy did a video on this where he digs into it.
