I’ve collected these 3 so far, but Swiss Cows if you go deep enough uses Bing. I’m not sure about Mojeek or Start Page.
mostly simple replies
There were some really good ones. Most of us didn’t realize what they were at first, myself included. They’re a lot like what’s here on Lemmy, we don’t qualify for the live propaganda people and the good ones. NOT that I want them to show up, they are very, very good.
Bots have been around for a long time. I started Reddit in 2014 and bots were prolific.
I have 3 equal theories on how this happened.
Thank you, I’ll look into it.

That looks too good to be true, do you use it? I’ve been not as happy with Firefox lately. They keep a record of all my bookmark history and update so often it makes your head spin. I couldn’t tell if the updates are because they’re doing something or it’s so popular that they need to do that for security.
How does the metal detector work? I’ve never heard of a phone being able to do that.

Meta owns that, so it’s complicated.
Grok
Elon owns that one.
That’s a nah.
I think we’re on the same page, I don’t care if they read my feed in the slightest. Reddit made a shit ton off of me and my friends and I didn’t care about that either. They were providing a free service and I used it, make money. My issue with reddit was/is, they think they’re the product and treat everyone as such.
Be the change you want to see
Yep, that’s one of the things I’m doing right here by getting the word out for everyone to spread out through the Fediverse. People were saying that when I joined, but I didn’t understand what the ramifications were. Of course, I can’t tell anyone on the largest instance, lol.
Nice, it looks like you can do it manually too.
When I unfollowed everything for the first time, I did it manually. I spent hours using a Facebook-provided feature to click unfollow on each of my friends, groups, and pages.
I’m pro-fediverse, that’s why I think it’s just as bad. There is one instance in particular, that has the vast majority of Lemmy, that is controlling the narrative for most Lemmy users and it probably will only get worse. I was banned from that one because an admin was curating what I said. Now I don’t really have a voice over there because I’m not savvy enough to do an alt that they couldn’t tell. So here I am, not being able to let people know that I’ve noticed them being curated and they’ve also banned my community in the biggest instance (that one I like).
This fact is rarely discussed but a major factor why the fediverse helps with democratization of the internet. Free information.
Absolutely, I want to keep it that way. I think corporations taking over one of the big instances would be subtle and will have terrible consequences for the fediverse. People sign up for it, not knowing, and then get curated just like on Facebook.
Why not both being an issue? Why wouldn’t they say who they really are if they’re a major corporation.
Meta (or similar) probably is already running one of our major instances. We don’t know who actually owns all of them.
Yes, why isn’t that one of the “good ones”?
I was wondering, but it should be more mainstream, yeah? Wasn’t Hitler thought to be living in South America or something in the old school conspiracy theories?
We’re gonna burn our planet
We? Or maybe just a handful of tech bros with too much money.
The OP and a few in this thread are trying to buy an argument, I’m glad there are no takers.
They might have already begun: Four US states hit by 911 call outages
It’s terrifying and super cool at the same time. I think all of the execs at these big tech companies need to rewatch the Terminator.
