I saw someone straight out just say "I stopped using search engines because the #Fediverse is far better these days" And, I have to agree. I was looking for an author website and Google just floods the page with their own useless book showcase thing, the one with the tabs that say reviews, description, etc, and then page 1 had nothing but storefront links. Meanwhile, I always find far more interesting stuff in here. It's almost like human beings are bett--- Oh never mind.
