DuckDuckGo, Ecosia, Ekoru, or something else?

I’ve been using DuckDuckGo for years now but am becoming increasingly interested in Ecosia and Ekoru for their environmentalist efforts. I’ve read the privacy policies for both, and it seems they both share user data with Bing. However, if I use a VPN, set my user data to something generic like Chrome on Windows, and whitelist the search engine on my adblocker, I should be able to support them by viewing ads without being tracked by Microsoft. Is that worth it, or do you have another recommendation?

I just love bears, man...

Particularly the Asian black bear.

What's your favorite kind of tea?
  • Oh yeah, I stay away from sodas as much as I can (except the very occasional Sprite during outings because how could I live without it). And I’m lactose intolerant, so I too prefer a savory treat to a sweet one. Tea has always been my one exception, though; I couldn’t tell you why.

  • What's a type of location that you really like, and why?
  • This sounds cliche but parks/public playgrounds are lovely. I live near one and spend much of my downtime drawing, writing, or doomscrolling at it. They often aren’t too loud if you don’t live in a big city, and I love hearing kids play in the distance behind me. Occasionally, you might even have a nice conversation with a stranger.

  • What's your favorite kind of tea?

    I’m an earl grey with honey man, but if I’m being honest, I’ve never really tried much else.

    What Matrix server do you use and why?

    Throughout my time using Lemmy, I have learned about the populations of a bunch of different instances and have made accounts on several different ones based on what I find. However, I’m about to make a Matrix account and this is a whole new ball game. Which server should I choose/avoid making my account on? Does it really matter as much as it does on Lemmy?
