Freedom from censorship.

Which doesn’t apply to Lemmy either, different instances just censor different trains of thought.

The trump administration can kiss my dick.

There. This is part of my social media history now.

Chill bro, we didn’t need another reason not to visit. We got it.

Why? The one giving the order on the top is ultimately responsible. Insubordination against king Donald of Orange the First will probably get you court martialed and hanged…

Have you read the original? It’s half book, half bible study. There are modern copies with most of the religious context removed or shortened which are great.

Yeah the Netflix show was a good watch, agree. Didn’t even try the tencent one, I saw it coming…

Yeah agree. I was living in China when it was recommended to me since it was super popular with the locals, but really couldn’t get through.

I did enjoy the Western series though despite the mixed reviews, they reduced all the political clutter to the bare minimum to provide historical context, so maybe that’s something to check out instead.

I didn’t even make it through the first few chapters, Chinese writing style is just terribly convoluted and full of unnecessary pathos. Reminded me of some early 1700s literature from Britain, like Robinson Crusoe.

I’m using a browser setup hardened against fingerprinting, block all known trackers, and cookies are barred from cross-site activity.

Might not be impossible to track me regardless, but at least I’m not giving them everything with a chef’s kiss on top.

I’ve tested kagi and agree that the search results are great. What I don’t like is that it’s making anonymous searching impossible, since I have to be logged in to use it (or use my unique token as part of the url for mobile searches).

Ultimately this means to me that in a private window mode (or even logged out with a fingerprinting resistant browser) I do not have the same degree of anonymity I enjoy even when using Google, let alone DDG or others.

I like the idea of not being dependent on google, but exposing my entire search history to one single entity is not my answer of choice.
