Thanks for asking! Lately I've been trying to cut down time spent in social media and other apps to be more present at home and giving more attention to people around me.
I've also tried to take more active role in meal preparation, my wife has appreciated that. :)
Ernest is the creator of kbin and the admin of kbin.social. When another instance federates with your community it creates local copy of your community on that instance. The first admin of the kbin instance is always listed as the "owner" of the federated community but they cant actually take any moderation actions in your community. I believe the admin of the federated instance can moderate what appears on their instance though.
Ooooh okay.... that make sense. For a moment I honestly thought someone was just lazily mooching off my content (it has happened before, sadly) but if that's basically the default setup for every community not native to kbin, then I don't have anything to worry about. =)
As long as it does start syncing eventually, that’s fine with me. I would just have found it weird to kinda “block” that particular community/magazine/etc. across all instances if the end users don’t even get access to the content.
… but then again, the Fediverse is probably just overwhelmed ATM so things like these slow down for a while. It’ll probably get better once the dust settles a bit after the reddit exodus (reddodus? rexodus? exoddit? I can’t think of a good portmanteau)
One is that time a mob of angry Dutchmen killed and ate their prime minister.
The other is... the entire goddamn clown show that was The War of 1812. Wherein the most famous battle of the war -- the Battle of New Orleans -- happened something like six weeks after the war ended because nobody involved got the memo.
I've been trying DuckDuckGo since I migrated to Waterfox recently. It seems more functional than when I last used it, some 6~12 months ago. And I've been noticing my searches are usually more successful on DDG than on Google too.
I have found my results to be more repetitive, filled with sponsored content, and less relevant. As a lot of what I search for is within articles/research, having equity company products shilled at me during the process is frustrating. It’s been a lot worse lately.
I'm surprised to see that Brave Search isn't mentioned more. Is there a privacy reason behind it?
So far I'm happy with it. It is pretty annoying to switch a different image search provider though...
Google search has been going down gradually year by year for the last decade for me. My searches have now devolved to just having google search Reddit, like most people now. I recently started using Brave and I liked that it was recapping information for me. DuckDuckGo has been hit or Miss. I’ve started seeing people me toon SearX, which I need to try.
I wish there were a search engine that prioritized searching through places like Reddit, stack exchange, Quora, etc. vs the random clickbait websites trying to sell Amazon links.
