Isn’t the whole reason why we use the fediverse in order to prevent information being filtered through Big Brother/Big Corps, etc.?

Yeah that’s why reasonable instances defederate from lemmygrad & co.

I think educating the average person that news sites like RT and Sputnik are owned by a foreign state is a better approach.

That’s not how it works. The average person is dumb as fuck and they need to be protected against disinfo. Also RT is not just “owned by a foreign state”, it is 100% state controlled propaganda, that is deliberately spread in the west to influence the public opinion.

Also, as an educated person myself I do not want to skip through 10 websites run by the Kremlin until I find a good result.

Why don’t we start delisting Fox News and other conservative media while we are at it?

I am all in for that! As far as I know Fox is not run by the white house though, but I am not from the US so I am not sure.

As long as there is not a good alternative for corporate search engine as in similar to the fediverse, we have to work with what we have.

I mean this post is up for more than a day, you could have read some of the other explanations, as yours is pretty poor

To be honest, I absolutely agree with them. I read the whole article and I do not see what is wrong with these statements? Russia is flooding the web with disinformation, we need to do something against that. Fuck the conservatives, Fuck Russia in particular, Slava Ukraini!

Weinberg’s tweet announcing the change generated thousands of comments, many of them from conservative-leaning users who were furious that the company they turned to in order to get away from perceived Big Tech censorship was now the one doing the censoring. It didn’t help that the content DuckDuckGo was demoting and calling disinformation was Russian state media, whose side some in the right-wing contingent of DuckDuckGo’s users were firmly on.

DuckDuckGo spokesperson Kamyl Bazbaz told Recode that the decision was simply about doing what a search engine is supposed to do: ensure that users were getting the best results for their searches. “Sites like RT and Sputnik that deliberately put out false information to intentionally mislead people directly cut against that purpose,” Bazbaz said

What happened in 2022?

Absolutely! Especially because the map is always broken on my phone, I want to move the area and end up somewhere hundreds of kilometers away. I guess it’s time for a new search engine…

It seems to depend on the country, if I set US or Germany I get the MSN results, if I set Spain I set none…

All of them are. See that colored butterfly next to the name of the news agency?

Look at the small logo left to the name of the news agency. All links refer to msn.com.

So probably a great news source for Lemmy.ml!

My SO makes double my income and I am very happy for her. I feel good to know she is financially independent from me. Imagine it doesn’t work out with us in the future, that would be really shitty for her.

But do they need to moderate that instance?

Give up your admin/mod roles on .ml, be neutral developers, then I am happy to donate.

Never heard about a Ross store, what’s that?

My manual payment went in just now

What’s infuriating here? You almost never get a reason why you have been declined (if they even answer you). So I find this message pretty nice and polite… Or am I overlooking something?

If you decide to only eat plain tomato with pasta, and that for 14 days, yep that’s possible. You are still eating like shit, and that is far from a balanced nutrition.

Only if your eat like a monk. That’s 5.71€ per day

I always try to buy in the store, but most of the time the store either doesn’t have the item I need or it costs 200%.
