  • I am not uneducated in this matter, I run Matrix instances and have dabbled in development of tools around it.

    Perhaps our experience is different, but I have had great difficulty in helping groups on the ground to use Matrix.

    Regardless of our agreement that Matrix is better than Signal, it should not cloud our judgement in at least reducing the harm that is Telegram.

    In the future we can keep joining hands to work towards a better future, but for now I hope you can understand my perspective and choice.


  • Thank you for your post!

    I want you to know your effort and knowledge is appreciated, this will help future readers make better decisions.✨

    But the situation stands that my friend and their friends are not as technologically literate as we are, and I would rather have them on something easy and secured than unsecured at all, especially from my experience with getting communities to use such decentralized platforms you mentioned.





  • What I mean by the avoid AI spam / SEO sites is Google, Bing, Yahoo etc all are filled with that.

    The concept behind the utilization of web-rings means that, assuming the web-ring is maintained by a trustworthy entity, the sites “attached” are reviewed as not AI / SEO slop.

    The responsibility to prevent AI / SEO is no longer in the hands of the developer, but in moderation and users verifying / certifying the quality of web-rings.


  • How does a user find the first web ring search engine?

    The implication is that such functionality is bundled into this search engine.

    What if they don’t want that multi step process?

    Hard thing, but what are a few steps toavoiding AI spam results?

    How do users avoid predatory web rings that are trying to sell them stuff?

    That’s a moderation issue, alluded to being a problem that should be figured out separate to figuring out this web-ring federation.

    How does this compete with existing search?

    Existing on the sidelines and possibly leaching off DDG users who want a less bing dependent search.
