Since DuckDuckGo has decided to regionalize all my search results even when no region is selected (why?!? 😩),

Making my work impossible (I don't spend my day writing about Canada DuckDuckGo! 🙄),

I have started to use @Mojeek and I must say that it is a real joy. I find what I'm looking for much quicker, no patronizing regionalization based on IP, and no AI pollution. It feels like I found back the 2010s web and I'm here for it.

Thank you Mojeek 💚

@Em0nM4stodon LOL @ no AI pollution, except for the big red box that clearly states that they use AI.

@Mojeek

@cliffwade @Mojeek I never saw this box show my side. Not sure if anything blocked it. I see a Wikipedia box instead. Which I'm quite happy with.

@Em0nM4stodon Like I said, before you post about how this or that doesn't use AI slop and how excited about it that it doesn't use AI, you might want to do some better research. It's just false information being spread to people and it's quite deceiving.

Plus you're giving a company credit for not doing something when they are indeed doing it, therefore making it look as if you're quite ok with it, though you're totally against it.

I'll be honest, when you mentioned it didn't use AI, I clicked it to check it out. Then instantly saw AI being used and was quite disappointed that I gave them a single click.
