  • Great list! I’ve been wanting to start using a smaller search engine with its own index, just for the sake of making sure there’s an alternative to GBY. (Also, there’s a new and useful acronym, haha.) Mojeek was the only one I was aware of before today.

    BTW, exalead.com doesn’t seem to be a search engine anymore. I recognized that one because I remember discovering it a while ago…in 2007, maybe? But it looks like it’s not available as a regular search engine now.

    edit: Also, this is the first really useful page I’ve read via the Gemini protocol, so thanks for that!



  • That’s the case for me. 404 was the first media outlet that was actively using the fediverse (Mastodon, specifically) to interact with their readers and share their content. At the same time, I realized that if I was going to start using non-VC-funded social media, I should probably pay for some non-VC-funded news sources, too.

    Especially given 404’s main subject matter, I bet there are a lot of discussions on the fediverse that are relevant to what 404 covers.
