I apologize if this is old news, but I just noticed it. It looks like Kagi has added Fediverse Forums as a default Web search option.

    I’ve been using Kagi for about a month now, and I think I’m gonna stick with it. Paying with dollars instead of data/attention feels more healthy for everyone involved.

    (Fully realizing, of course, that there’s nothing stopping them from doing both, and that’s why we need better laws. Voting with your wallet will never be a complete solution… but it is something I can do right now.)

      I have been on it for about a year and I have no complaints.

          I don’t know the details, so maybe there is a reason, but I am not part of the “outraged” crowd. I think kagi use case is neat and innovative, bot protection is meh

        A very reassuring technology to have!

        But my worry was more about them changing their business model once they get big enough.

          I think their customer base is basically 90% made of people that - like me - would quit in a second.

          Good thing is that there is no vendor lock, it would be a shame, but changing search engine is quite simple.
