Linux May Be the Best Way to Avoid the AI Nightmare
  • Came here cos of the mention of Mojeek; will be coming back for this long quality list of things I can put on my phone 👏👏👏

  • Just a reminder we are the future of social media.
  • there's a safe mode if it's of use: nested in the settings gear menu but also on /preferences (to turn it on for all searches)

  • Google won’t comment on a potentially massive leak of its search algorithm documentation
  • can't emphasise too much that this piece is a very necessary read for anyone who wants to know about search; not just because it says good things about us, but because of the depth of research which has been put in here. Most times you encounter an article about indexes they are just taking whatever a (meta)search engine says about themselves, not even looking at privacy policies for "relationships with microsoft" etc. or doing any comparative work.

  • Google Is Paying Reddit $60 Million for Fucksmith to Tell Its Users to Eat Glue
  • we're working on it 😉 slow and steady and all that; we also fixed a bug with recrawl recently that should be improving things

  • I'm really annoyed by how much Brave Search is pushing AI
  • do you remember any of the queries for which you were not satisfied? We're always looking to improve

  • DuckDuckGo is down. Is there any info about it?? [EDIT: IS BACK]
  • you can also send us in queries where we're not perfect, or let us know elsewhere, and we're keen on fixing them

  • Using Google whilst Duck Duck Go is down. How long has Google been this bad?
  • and when people let us know where we fall down we're able to make it better, growing alongside the userbase!

  • DuckDuckGo e altri motori di ricerca down: quanto dipendono da Bing?
  • Hai qualche esempio in cui non forniamo molti risultati italiani? Vorremmo indagare su questo aspetto.

  • Sometimes it's a hard one to remember 😅

  • What search engine do you use?
  • this is correct 😀

  • A web search tip to avoid AI generated SEO junk
  • 8bn pages crawled and indexed in house by us, but if you want something a bit more fleshed-out: https://www.mojeek.com/about/why-mojeek

  • The whole internet loves Kagi, a lovely paid search engine that can find things! *5 seconds later* We regret to inform you the CEO is an unhinged narcissist who will harangue you in email
  • Thanks a lot for sharing such a detailed rundown of what you find Mojeek to be useful for. I've shared this with the wider team.

    This being said, if you have things that you'd like to wing our way in terms of improvements, or feedback on individual results, our inbox is always open (aloe at mojeek dot com) and there's a submit feedback button on results pages. Mojeek thrives and grows off of feedback, the good and the bad 🙏

  • thanks a lot for shouting us out, Marginalia is also impressive (basically a one-person project etc.), the random button is delightful

  • Microsoft is once again injecting pop-up ads into Google Chrome on Windows in a bid to get people to switch to Bing
  • sorry to hear that; if you are using us any point in the future and want to flag this, we have a "submit feedback" button on pages, this is a really useful thing to do for us, as it helps us to identify results which are not so good :D

  • It looks like Duck Duck Go is down at the moment. What is your second choice for privacy respecting search?
  • coming up to 20 years of no tracking, 18 of having the first privacy policy to say it: https://web.archive.org/web/20060318104627/http://www.mojeek.com/privacy.html

    hopefully a good consensus 😅 at least seen very little of people saying bad

  • It looks like Duck Duck Go is down at the moment. What is your second choice for privacy respecting search?
  • you can smash the "submit feedback" button on the page when you get a duff search and send it into us, it's how we improve: https://blog.mojeek.com/2024/02/major-algorithm-update.html
