    I used to use DDG until they started censoring results.

    I use Brave Search and Startpage. The latter is basically just a private Google proxy with some cool features and the former is fully independent, private, aesthetically appealing and has nice optional AI features.

        Yeah I noticed that, it’s why I don’t really use them. Astroturfed to shit.

        EDIT: OMG unrelated but i’m so glad you wrote https://dessalines.github.io/essays/nietzsche.html because I got into arguments on hexbear over that guy being a fascist POS and it’s so vindicating to read someone backing me up on that after all the gaslighting they put me through.

          Thx! I have no why some ppl twist their brains in knots trying to defend nietzche. I still come across ppl who read that and try to say he actually meant the opposite.

            I know right! And I’m the problematic one for pointing out just how ridiculous that reasoning is.

        Contributing here with another sample point.

        I did not find the mentioned link on either search engines’ first page of results.

        DuckDuckGo:

        StartPage:

        I am not sure why a black bar appears when taking a full page screenshot of StartPage on Safari for iOS, but both screenshots are unedited and uploaded as-is.

        Your page isn’t blocked. I found it on DDG just fine. Second page, as the other commenter pointed out.

        What else are you claiming gets censored? Would love to put it to the test myself.

        Edit: and startpage has it on page 3. Are you claiming they censored you out, as well?
