Next up: "Why I made Truth Seeker, the Search Engine for Fascists"

[-] ksynwa@lemmygrad.ml 28 points 5 months ago

He also made a search engine for Christians called Glorifind

[-] ICantStopSuckingDick@hexbear.net 33 points 5 months ago

the best way to find glory holes

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 13 points 5 months ago

That's not a bad name tbh

[-] Egon@hexbear.net 4 points 5 months ago

your post just made me notice that this font does something fucky to the dot over the "i" and "j" when they're next to an "f" fi f i fj f j
How have I never noticed this before? Do all fonts do this? Wtf

[-] ksynwa@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I notice it too now. All fonts don't do this. It's a feature of some fonts called ligatures: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligature_(writing)#Stylistic_ligatures

The weird thing is that it doesn't do it on mobile. Only desktop

frothingfash Everything is woke! Movies are woke! Books are woke! Razors are woke! Search engines are woke! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOKE

[-] HexbearGPT@hexbear.net 27 points 5 months ago

I made a search engine for liberals called hexbear.

[-] Egon@hexbear.net 8 points 5 months ago

You've made a terrible search engine, but a relatively decent dating site/news aggregator. Or so I am told. I'm only here to discuss Scrabble and european cartoons. Asterix and Obelix really went downhill huh?

[-] FanonFan@hexbear.net 23 points 5 months ago

(I refuse to investigate this) is it actually doing its own crawling or is it just like a searx instance?

[-] zifnab25@hexbear.net 23 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Threw a few basic keyword searches at it and it just returns Wikipedia / Britannica as the top results, consistently.

Then I went fishing for anime torrents and got some fairly decent results.

I did some basic "news of the day" searches and I get back exactly what you'd expect. Links to PBS and NYT and WaPo for the most part.

Somehow, this is marginally better than Google/Bing, but not by much. I'm really not seeing a difference. Other than "Its based because we're conservative" what is the sell on this digital tool?

[-] Fontasia@feddit.nl 26 points 5 months ago

Conservatives are the hot new bait in the tech world

I hope they all get taken for long slow rides. Preferably to the bottom of large bodies of water. Or even ponds, those work too.

[-] Des@hexbear.net 17 points 5 months ago

it's been too long and the pond hungers again

[-] asg101@hexbear.net 8 points 5 months ago

A new definition for "pond scum".

[-] zifnab25@hexbear.net 7 points 5 months ago

I mean, maybe. But I'm still not even sure what this is selling.

It's not like Conservapedia, which is legitimately unhinged. It's not Black Rifle Coffee, which is basically just a grift for US Military Base grocery stores. What's the point?

[-] SoyViking@hexbear.net 4 points 5 months ago

They're too busy getting angry over the latest culture war fad to do the hard work of enshittification

[-] GeorgeZBush@hexbear.net 21 points 5 months ago

Google has been so enshittified that a le based anti-WOKR right wing alternative is still more useful lmao

[-] Egon@hexbear.net 21 points 5 months ago

Result hunter is a hilariously telling name. "No I'm not interested in searching or learning, I already know what the result is, I just need the machine to tell it to me so I can feel good about my worldview."

[-] alexandra_kollontai@hexbear.net 18 points 5 months ago

Result HUNTER

Biden? 👁

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 18 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

is it okay to say the n word

Many of the results are Reddit and Quora.

Google's top result is NPR which I suppose is blocked from Result Hunter.

This guy looks like a pedophile

[-] VeganicTankie@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 5 months ago

You spell "pedophile" as "libright"

[-] Adkml@hexbear.net 12 points 5 months ago

It's really funny that even the name of the website is an admission they just want something that will confirm to conclussions they already arrived at.

[-] CoolYori@hexbear.net 8 points 5 months ago

So to take this in another direction have you tried Kagi yet?

[-] alexandra_kollontai@hexbear.net 5 points 5 months ago

I'm paying for Kagi and my favourite feature is the results personalisation. I can up and down-rank sites based on if I like them or not. I enjoy it and it gets frequent updates but I'm ready to unsubscribe the moment they do something stupid. Which hasn't happened yet... but I smell it in the future.

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 4 points 5 months ago

Not only do so many of these freaks look like poljak school shooters but now I can’t help but think many of these white conservatives look like the fascist who beheaded his father lol
