1 year agoBeen using DuckDuckGo for years now. I only go to Google if I’m not finding what I need, which isn’t that often. And to do that I just pop in !g
before my search in DDG and it pushes me to google. Can do the same for other engines like !b
for Bing.
I’ve seen it talked about a few times across different platforms (Hackernews) where people have pondered the idea of cloning old posts, keeping the poster name but to a non-existent account. Acting as both a way to populate a community and archive content away from Reddit’s control.
I haven’t seen any examples of this done yet, not sure if anyone has.
