Big Tech isn't worried about censorship because they know that the Republican party is on board with it..

there's a reason it's called Big Tech and other things are called small tech. Duck duck Go is small Tech.. parlor is small Tech you can't fight big tec with small Tech

you can't fight big tec with small Tech

I disagree. If you want to be a sheep you'll always be a sheep. For everyone else, small tech gives them options and people are flocking to them in droves.

Idk man, GAB is honestly kicking ass right now. So is this site.

But gab... What's great about gab is that it doesn't feel like an alternative.

It feels like a perfect mix between FB and Twitter, of which I quit both.

Gab is actually fun and addictive, and has fun groups outside of politics.

It's a great platform, and implementing Gab TV with it was a great idea.

Gab is the first time I've thought it's possible an "alt tech" app could become mainstream, big tech over time.

We need all republicans to leave Twitter and FB, and join gab.

World leaders will then follow. As world leaders follow, so does everyone else.

It's also very important for Gab TV to focus on popular music.

A YouTube competitor can't do well unless they work out some major music contracts, and get a lot of the big guys on their platforms.

Then, it can get out of the alternative stage and become a maisntream staple.

duck duck go is great for most things. Even downloaded their browser app and use it exclusively on my phone. Their maps though, hot garbage.

I use that, and Brave internet browser.

I suggest you try brave

If you enable ads, which aren't bad, you are compensated with crypto currency, which you can donate to content makers such as the people running this very site! It's a cool idea.

I use duckduckgo by default, but not really sure how they work. Aren't they woke too? Posts below said they were caught censoring. I think I read on here before that they utilize other engines' results to an extent, which would make them more of a metasearch than independent alternative.

They seem to have legit results. They are woke though lol donated money to some pretty shitty lefty orgs but it was break the bank amounts. Curious why a search engine still trying to get capital to improve their product is donating anything but stupid gonna stupid.

Just to throw out randomly... they could believe in these, being simple leftist aholes, at least in management. Or they could be thinking they'll get crushed by PR bullies who threaten them otherwise. Like, donate to my group or your racist. (They'll find a racist search result, show how duckduckgo has a higher rate of directing people to the KKK than google or whatever stupid plan they usually pull to try to convince people that an alternative is a hot-bed of extremism /clown honk)

Not good enough. Antitrust. As long as Google is allowed to exist we are doomed.

I'm sure the Biden DOJ will get right on that!

The issue isn’t that there are other search engines. The problem is that Google controls EVERYTHING. This company cannot be allowed to continue! All these media giants need to be split, but Google is the monster.

Seriously, we need to be talking about ANTITRUST, and NOBODY is! Everyone remains distracted while Google keeps amassing more and more power. I fear it is already too late. These politicians are owned.

Another interesting SE to look into is https://www.presearch.io/

I'm still deciding if I like it - so this is not a recommendation for the SE or the platform.
