@gwentlarry @Tutanota mojeek search

@GOKUSHRM @Tutanota

Presumably that should be mojeek?

I have tried several times and recently. Really isn't much good - it works but is very UK focused.

@gwentlarry @Tutanota yup spell mistake 😅. & true not best but still better than big tech data harvesting search engine

@Tutanota It's a good article, and it's prompted me to join Mastodon. Already using LibreOffice and Proton. Browser is currently Firefox, but seriously considering Vivaldi. Keen to support a European IT infrastructure 🙂

@brainsuxx666 I guess you'll likely find it still too much, but anyway: The standard price recently dropped to 550 € and first-time buyers can always get another 50 € off (through a referral code from a "Keep Club" member – me, friends, strangers). /u

@WeAreFairphone I could spend about 300 on a phone :) Lets make a deal xd

@_elena @Tutanota I read that as “conspiracy theorists claim it os linked to the EU, but it is not”

(My job involves parsing unclear writing lol)

Commenting on social medias is nice.

But over the years, I noticed that whenever you write to a journalist, they very often reply. They do read their emails and they notice.

When you read a piece about leaving big tech, you have someone interested in the topic. It is someone to write to about the Fediverse. This journalist will then look it up and it might come up in a next piece.

@bougiewonderland thank you!

It just made it sound so ominous... as soon as someone writes "conspiracy theorists" whatever follows loses all credibility in my eyes. Especially if it's not backed by actual claims - who are the conspiracy theorists? Links? I find the article - in this section - poorly written
