This has been my experience as well. In the past friends and family were more reluctant to break away from whatever their default communication app was. These days most people are already familiar with the idea of using one thing to text, another to "message", and often more than that. I've had great success converting people to more secure platforms now that they understand the process.

Tech is a boogie man to many executypes. I've seen plenty of IT pros that were in over their head but smooth enough con men. If they keep coming up with things to throw money at/trim money out of convincingly they have long and successful careers.

Any duck duck go alternative that is better in privacy and security ?

I have always liked and used Duck duck go more than google but now i am considering if i should switch because of the shit they pulled with their app and yesterday when i clicked a link it took me directly to their newsletter subsciption page not even like a popup a proper page without any way except manually backing out .

I use Kagi with the unlimited search paid version. Whether it's my own needs, friends, family, etc, I always seem to be the one doing the searching for everyone I interact with. After years of Google feeding more and more sponsored links into the results I switched to DDG, and after about 6 months of finding their results lackluster I tried Kagi.

For me, it works. I don't know that I'll use it forever or anything but at the moment it does a better job of getting me reliable results within the first few sites and I can move on with my day. I just need quick, accurate search results. So far Kagi has been that.

I did the free trial thing a couple times to see how it worked before paying and I'd suggest that to anyone thinking about switching. Give it a week or two on trial accounts and if it sucks then it probably isn't for you.

This must be true since I read about it on the line.

Apparently you haven't seen him attempt to wear cowboy boots.

I've been to several coffee shops through the years that also had local artists that helped with the decor, and local musicians playing a couple days a week.

For whatever reason I've never really looked at a coffee shop as a bar/pub for daytime folks but I guess that's what a lot of them kind of were.

You must be the last person on Lemmy still looking at these sites the way they're displayed by default. Firefox, adblock, no script, pi hole, etc makes all that go away pretty painlessly.

Strange, my reddit account seems to have had all its posts and comments deleted and my IP leads back to Proton. Oopsy daisy. Get fucked clowns.

FrostyTrichs ,

It took a couple weeks but I've found that blocking some bot accounts and adjusting the sorting on the app I use has plenty of fresh content with active posts. It isn't exactly the same as reddit in its prime, but I shouldn't expect it to be either.

It's causing me to branch out into other topics and conversations that I probably would've missed on a gigantic platform like reddit. I think reddit made it easy to see interesting content because of how long it had to develop into a community. Lemmy is still a bit jumbled and fragmented, but the community seems to be sticking around and forming a new identity apart from reddit.
