Is this just my impression, or have #Qwant and European Search Perspective (#EUSP) stopped all efforts at public communication since the launch of EUSP?

Qwant hasn't posted a single blog post since 8 November 2024, and the only news about EUSP is this blog post by @ecosia:

https://de.blog.ecosia.org/startschuss-fur-unseren-europaischen-suchindex/

Das Internet ist gerade ein ganzes Stück besser geworden: Startschuss für unseren europäischen Suchindex

Wir liefern seit kurzem unabhängige Suchergebnisse aus unserem europäischen Suchindex – ein wichtiger Meilenstein für ein Internet, das auf Fairness und ethischen Prinzipien basiert.

@EUCommission opens proceedings to assist #Google in complying with interoperability and online search data sharing obligations under the Digital Markets Act (#DMA).

Excellent news which will hopefully assist @ecosia and @Qwant and their European Search Perspective (#eusp), amongst others.

@mariusz @platlas There is a lack of transparency on the part of Ecosia regarding the infrastructure they use (probably for the reasons I pointed out).

I hope that Ecosia and Qwant, through #EUSP, will enable Ecosia to greatly improve its European digital sovereignty with the help of Qwant.

I just want Ecosia to stop relying on US infrastructure and Big Tech, because in Europe we have much more sustainable, cheaper alternatives that are better aligned with Ecosia's interests and mission and support the local businesses.

In recent times, my search engine of choice has been #DuckDuckGo, followed more recently by #Kagi.

I have been trying out Kagi since December 2025 and it is still in its trial period.

Today, however, I decided to delete my Kagi account and give preference to leading European search engines such as #Ecosia and #Qwant.

I will use #Ecosia as my primary search engine and Qwant as my secondary one.

I have already set these as my preferred search engines in my browser and can easily switch between them. I have also removed all other US-based predefined search engines from my browsers.

The #EUSP (led by Ecosia and Qwant) is developing and building search engine infrastructure in Europe. - https://www.eu-searchperspective.com/

European Search Perspective

Promoting digital pluralism, data security, and sustainability through a European Web Index.

Meine Standard-Suchmaschine ist jetzt Ecosia (https://www.ecosia.org/).

@Ecosia wird aus Deutschland betrieben. Zusammen mit Qwant (https://www.qwant.com/?l=de) bauen sie einen Europäischen Suchindex #EUSP auf.

Ecosia - the search engine that plants trees

Ecosia uses 100% of its profits for the planet and produces enough renewable energy to power all searches twice over.

Guter Post von Piehnat zu #ecosia: Zwischen grünem Anspruch und grauer Realität. https://piehnat.de/post/ecosia-zwischen-gruenem-anspruch-und-grauer-realitat #ki #eusp #qwant
Ecosia - Zwischen grünem Anspruch und grauer Realität

Ecosia verspricht Umweltschutz per Klick, aber wie grün ist die Suchmaschine wirklich, wenn KI, Bing-Abhängigkeit und fehlende Verbrauchszahlen ins Spiel kommen?

I just read that @ecosia started delivering first #EUSP results! That's great news, but why did it happen so quietly?

The internet just got better: our European search index goes live

We’ve started delivering independent search results from our European-based index. This will help us build the kind of ethical and fair internet we believe in.

And now they've killed themselves.
Great job, idiots.
