Huh? Privacy doesn‘t seem to be one of the best selling features, is it? Well, yes, you don‘t have to use your real name, but someone posted an article today, that not even private messages here are private.

Yup, same opinion here. If I can add, most intensivist are native denizen of fediverse, they use fedi long ago before elon even think to buy twitter. They takes root here to escape persecution and harrasment when using mainstream socmed. Whereas extensivist is mostly twitter refugees or those who only knows fediverse after elon bought twitter and using twitter to escape bad owners and worsening community. They then attracted to fediverse autonomy and potentials, and want to use fediverse to replace mainstream social media. They want to use fediverse to ensure there are no el*n-buy-twitter-then-kill-the-platform again.
Both are valid motives to use fediverse, but it is contradictary.
@s4if @Machefi I was kicked off of Farcebook almost three years ago now, that's when I started my friendica and hubzilla mode. I began to find it increasingly difficult to find things on Google or Bing, so I turned first to DuckDuckGo, but then they turned to using Google's database, so became useless, so I went to Swisscows, then they did the same with the same results, so at that point I started by Yacy node (a federated search engine). We do what we must out of necessity.
how good is the Yacy node at getting useful search results?
@AvengingFemme So so, it's easier to find "relevant" responses with google, IF it's not something politically charged that Google is intentionally suppressing, but if it is something Google doesn't want you to see you're likely to find it with yacy. The way yacy works, each node talks to all the others, so whatever your site has indexed, and you can direct what it indexes, those results are combined with all the other nodes when you do a search. But the downside is that it is resource intensive, particularly you need a lot of RAM, 96GB is marginal.
thanks for using Leebra!

I dunno, I'm kinda here because Reddit decided to discriminate against people with disabilities, and that pisses me off.
