Anything not communist is far right to these people.
Ngl, after reading most comments you seem like the only other person with a brain in this thread.
Do you know any good instances that aren't just art posts?
のんのんびより is nice and laid back. I haven't read 君たちはどう生きるか tho.
I tried joining a Misskey instance last month with a VPN on and got kicked out :c It feels like I've tried everything in order for the algorithm to recommend me good videos. I try to like and comment on every good video I find. It has been like this for years at this point.
Animelon is great. Nowadays I mostly use https://nyaa.si/ + asbplayer + mokuro when I want to watch anime / read manga
Struggling to find enjoyable reading and listening material
Hi. I'm a big YouTube guy. I spend a ton of time watching YouTube videos. But for the life of me, I can't seem to enjoy Japanese YouTube. I do enjoy watching SOME vtubers occasionally when they play fun games. Other than that I don't really read much unless it's on reddit/lemmy or github. Someone pointed me to a Japanese mastodon instance but it has a pretty intense VPN block.
What do you guys watch/read in Japanese?
I like DDG lite a lot, but I need to be able to search for images :c
I personally think people are overreacting, but hey, we're on lemmy after all..
Earlier today I found many lemmians that suggested abolishing freedom of speech because of bigotry. They are absolutely nuts on here.
I use these instances: https://search.inetol.net/ https://search.hbubli.cc/ It's working great so far. The only issue im having is that it pulls Chinese results every once in a while.
Startpage seems like a pretty good alternative. I read their privacy policy and it looks pretty solid.
Another $10 subscription just to browse the web.. I don't think it's for me.
It's probably not that big of a deal, but I just don't want anything to do with Microsoft.
How private is the Presearch search engine?
I've been trying to find a good privacy respecting browser, but I can't really decide on what to use. I don't like the search results with Brave Search. DuckDuckGo shares my information with Microsoft and SearchXNG shows me NSFW images even with strict search on. I really like Presearch, but I'm not really sure what they're about.
EDIT: After tinkering with the settings of my SearXNG instance, it seems to have reduced the amount of NSFW images. I think I will stick with SearXNG for now.
