Highly recommend this great post from Eli Perkins reflecting on a year of using Kagi:
Highly recommend this great post from Eli Perkins reflecting on a year of using Kagi:
Took a look at Kagi yesterday when I saw a post about Kagi's new translate tool.
Between Kagi's search functionality, news aggregator, their smart and intentional approach to using AI (on demand only, not pushed down people's throats), and the ability to refine and control search contexts... I'm sold. I think $10/month is a great bargain.
It's early days yet, but I'm really impressed. I feel like a customer again and not a product to be monetized.

Great awareness campaign by @ente on the real cost of "free." You end up paying with your privacy and data: https://stopinsta.com/
Here's how this becomes relevant for search: https://help.kagi.com/kagi/why-kagi/why-pay-for-search.html#the-real-cost-of-free-search
My go-to SearXNG public instance is no longer available. If anyone has any alternative recommendations, I’d appreciate them!
I’m also curious if anyone would be interested in collaboratively managing a server as a co-op. If that's you, please reach out!

Huh.
"In addition to excluding neocities.org from search results, when we discovered the block, Bing was also placing what appeared to be a phishing attack against Neocities on the first page of search results."

🤔 This is *not* a good look.
Is Bing actively trying to stifle the #indieWeb & the #smallWeb ? Who knows!
Regardless - what you can do:
- pick a different search engine if you are using Bing. #DuckDuckGo, #Qwant, #Startpage come to mind as great first picks.
- start up your own little #indieWeb #smallWeb site! Share what you like. It doesn't have to be complicated. A small blog, a digital garden.
- seek out #webrings, share content from small/indie sites that you enjoy!
Huh.

"Very early on, I realised why everyone I was talking to, lauded Kagi. Searching and getting legitimate results for my queries, with just no slop felt euphoric."
