Leaving this post here since it's an interesting project to keep an eye on, but the conversation isn't constructive. So, locking the comments.

Seems legit as a concept, though the author is giving weird vibes.

I'm not sure what "globohomo" means but it sounds like a 4chan homophobic term. Additionally the author says they wanted a search engine giving results without "political inclinations", which reads to me as "reality has a liberal bias and I don't like that".

I'll pass on this for now.

Excuse me, but on what authority do you say it doesn't suck? The comparison in the readme seems to be written by a resentful kid.

I like how it calls the captcha an "IQ test".

Why the downvotes? Is this sketchy? What is it?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

prolly because op just reposted the link from the search engine post from yesterday

Maybe because it’s so edgy you can cut yourself reading it.
