kinda think we need a search engine that can index fedirated sites . like lemmy /mastedon /pleroma .etc .etc

searching for help with technical /specific things has become a nightmare .as al the usefull subreddits have gone dark due to the ongoing protest . making google not so helpfull at all to use

Didn't notice since I use Kagi...

I did notice that Kagi now informs us about how much tracking and shit the sites are using. It's an info badge for each url.

I noticed this as well, but it also made me reflect on why I even started adding "reddit" to my searches.

It's kind of crazy how bad most other results are. They are almost universally some kind of sponsored ad or blog content written by the marketing department of some brand. It's strangely difficult to find the information you are looking for on google these days.

Reddit was a band-aid but the larger issue is more in how search became an outlet for ads. Modern billboards on the information superhighway.

I'm not sure if there's a proper solution anymore.
