Insidious and Piped are great but I hate it when people post them, it’s always a gamble on if it’s a legit instance or a malicious site. IMO YouTube or https://redirect.invidious.io/ are the only ways people should share YouTube videos

Happy to see I’m not the only one who can think

Hmm interesting, my take is fuck the Hamas, fuck the Israeli government both have done horrible things (and no I won’t support one over the other because A is a tiny bit less horrible the B), I want the civilians on both sides to be able to live a peaceful live.

Idk about the public opinion but I’m not surprised that people are not publicly showing their support for Israel > if you look into the news people are getting stabbed for showing it.

I totally agree with you critical thinking and discussion is the best that can happen but at least at the time of writing my comment i didn’t see any of it, most of what i saw was:

• “you’re a bot/this is written by a bot”
• “the website got iOS in it, it doesn’t belong here”,
• “I never heard of that website, it’s just an AD”(if if its true it would be helpful but IMO its just someone trying to write articles and trying to get better) - - “you’re a shill/are paid”,
• “the downsides of SearXNG don*t matter because you you can use a different instance” (thats a bit like saying “yes Google got downsides but you can switch to bing, yahooy, yandex, baidu”(obviously over the top example))
• “I like Kagi, its the best 10$/month that i spend” (this one at least got got a tiny bit of substance but is also not helpful)

The only helpful things that I saw were when people pointed out spelling mistakes.

if it seems “horribly biased” let them know why you have that feeling so they can improve on it.

I also don’t see how a paid service is antithetical (nice word btw, never heard it before) to privacy > yes Kagi might be able to link all searches to each account (I didn’t do too much research on how they implemented it) but that doesn’t mean that its not possible to implement it in a way were they wouldn’t be able to do that.

So yea, critical thinking and discussion GoGoGo but “you’re wrong, I’m right lol”(obviously made up but some comments here (meaning this community not just this post) give me that feeling) is none of that

The comments here perfectly show what’s wrong with this community, “You don’t agree that my favourite service is #1 you’re clearly biased/a bot/paid”

“Your fav service has this problem use xyz instead” “XYZ has the exact same problem” “ahhh paid shill you’re super biased”

“I’ve never heard of your website before, you’re clearly a paid shill/bot”

“Ahhh they use crash logs, nothing should ever collect crash logs because I like it when the software I have never gets fixed”

“How dare you even talk about something that isn’t free > free as in libre and not as in price oh wait no I mean as in price because I will never pay for anything”

I also don’t understand, I’m a scart kid

After reading that pretty much everyone that doesn’t have a cat/dog sleeps with a closed door makes me feel like a weirdo but open door, I don’t see the point of closing the door when I live alone and fire isn’t a concern I have > it’s basically impossible that it reaches my bedroom
