Their old version with the ‘random’ option is the best way to find random, small, niche sites.

so many better Google alternatives out there:

• https://ecosia.org/
• https://searx.space/ (pick any of the 50+ instances)
• https://www.qwant.com/

this needs to be how this is communicated: “Trump starts war to hide child rape”

actually, the way twitter likely works is that you have to pay for your posts to not be suppressed. the game, of course, rigged.

Any we client including Matrix webclient is incredibly vulnerable to the server just injecting JS

That doesn’t preclude fediverse clients from enabling E2EE. A web-client isn’t a requirement.

Like there is no point of E2E encryption in Twitter, Musk can read your messages if you open them on any device he can execute arbitrary code on.

Agreed, nobody should trust twitter, but I would trust most mastodon clients to send encrypted messages, if/when implemented correctly. Does it guarantee that messages will never be read? No, but it does an extra layer that wasn’t there before.

that argument doesn’t hold. you’re letting perfect be the enemy of good-and if you truly believe that, then you wouldn’t be recommending Matrix which has web clients, see https://app.element.io/

why? because it would be cool if only intended recipients are able to view sent messages.

the problem the guy above is trying to call out is that traditional social media (read: algorithms dictated by the ruling class) spread misinformation and control the narrative in ways we never thought possible. voting works, yes, but without addressing the root cause—misinformation—we will end up right back where we are.
