one of the things that I like about #mojeek search engine, is that you can filter the search results and ask the engine to never show any links from websites such as slant.co or other nonsense websites.
"As a completely independent crawler-based search engine, Mojeek’s web search results are unaffected by the policies and biases of any company or individual."
A small experiment today - after years of using DuckDuckGo, I'm going to try @Mojeek as a search engine.
If anyone else here uses it, could you let me know if you've found a way to exclude a site from search results, please. I can't see anything https://www.mojeek.com/support/search-operators.html on excluding sites.
I tried a "-site:sitename" switch, but with no luck.
Any plans to add !bangs in @Mojeek? Bangs was the main reason #DuckDuckGo was my default search engine for so long.
I've kept #Mojeek there for a few weeks, but I keep switching to DDG just for the bangs 😕
I suppose a better solution would be to include bang-like functionality directly in #Firefox because why hit an external website, but not sure if any plugins make it at seamless? 🧩
So with my new found knowledge of #kagi upsetting me and causing me to leave it... The fact the only other engines that are not just proxying google or bing... Is #brave or #mojeek and while brave one is nice... I just cannot bring myself to use something that funds a biggot... Then mojeek just feels dated and not great...
I am tempted at bringing fuzzysearx back... and even look at trying to leverage the built in ability to add custom engines to look at leveraging other abilities... because searxng really seems like the only ethical way I can see to leverage search engines collecting data...
While #DuckDuckGo is down, I tried out a few other search engines. I did a search I made yesterday in each. #Bing gave me an interesting looking blog first, then some less-related info from high-trust sources, then an interesting paper, then a bunch of garbage. #Mojeek gave me nothing that looked interesting, just pages that used some of the words from my search. #Kagi gave me the less-related high-trust sources first, then the entire rest of the first page looked interesting.
Is there any reason #mojeek isn't free software? Duckduckgo apparently can't due to agreements with the search engines it uses, but Mojeek doesn't rely on other servicea, so what prevents it? @Mojeek
Thank you @Mojeek for the stickers! You've officially been added to my worklaptop's lid of good tools to use, for all colleagues and workrelations to see!

Apparemment ça aide pas mal les dev à améliorer les résultats dans notre région
so @Mojeek seems to have at least deleted their death wishes off of their site, but with no explanation, and no explanation on how they will make sure that this doesn't happen to other people who may be in a worse place than I am currently and can take serious damage from things like exactly this.
To just let an AI post stuff on your page is so irresponsible. To not make sure things like this doesn't happen is irresponsible.
If you let an AI post something in your name, YOU are responsible for what it confabulates.
