Weirdly, the only parts of the Internet that I'm really liking these days are Hacker News, Lemmy and the one part that I do pay for, which is Kagi Ultimate. It is very refreshing not to be the product and I do occasionally need to use a search engine for something.

Kagi AstroTurfing needs to stop.... Fuck off.

SearxNG. FOSS, selfhostable. Don't pay for a search engine.

Unfortunately it piggybacks of googles and co's indexing. What happens if we succeed as a FOSS movement and google goes under?

People genuinely like Kagi. I dont really see the problem

I doubt 1% of the comments are genuine users and not themselves botting/faking comments just to inject advertising.

I recommend Kagi at every opportunity, but am sometimes afraid of people assuming its astroturfing like this and not my real opinion.

Thats just downright conspiratorial
