Thank you for starting Mojeek

Dear Team Mojeek,
I’m an enthusiast. I now have Mojeek as my start page in both Firefox and Vivaldi; it is my primary search engine in my search options for both browsers. I just love finding new things and not being directed to a product. Your recent alternative search is nice for those times your engine is a little too far off the beaten path. I prefer Ecosia and Startpage although I would love to see Swisscows…I’ll post in the right channel for that recommendation. The rest, google, bing, yandex…I’m unwilling to give any attention unless absolutely necessary and it has not been necessary for quite some time thanks to you and a few others.
Further, I know it is not always practical, but I do appreciate the green emphasis; I also LOVE the minimalist look.
Finally, given my lack of tech savvy, I like to support projects I use regularly (e.g. joplin) or want to see succeed. I look forward to some Mojeek merch or perhaps an opencollective option to donate a little every month.
Thank you Team Mojeek for some fresh air,
JP

Welcome @jppelt, it’s always great to talk to people who are enthusiastic about Mojeek and finding new things is our specialty!
Thanks for the pointer on Swisscows, and also for suggestions on donations/merch; on the latter, I’m doing some work to get something together currently as it seems that a lot of people would like to get their hands on some. The first thing we need to sort is to find a provider who meets our standards for some kind of online store. We wear our values on our sleeves and so it has to be the right supplier for us to put it out there.

Hello,
I am just an average user with an interest in all things privacy related and adjacent. I do not program and I pay the bills as a professor at a business school teaching subjects like English and Marketing.
Many years ago I switched to Linux and about 2 years ago I began degoogling my life and trying to increase my digital privacy. I dabbled in self-hosting but now my blog is hosted on Codeberg. I discovered the Fediverse and I see at least one name here on the community I recognise.
About 2 weeks ago I rediscovered Mojeek and I have been using it daily since. So, I will have questions and suggestoons soon.

Thanks for the warm welcome, Josh! And yes, it’s unfortunate that Twitter too is tracking us a lot. If you want, you can connect with me on Minds and Mastodon, which are privacy-respecting alternatives.

Hi, I am Kieran. I am a tech enthusiast who is passionate about online privacy. I am also the founder of personaldata.info, a website that teaches about the dangers of online fingerprinting and tracking. I am a huge fan of Mojeek, and I try to distance myself from big tech wherever possible.

Hi everyone,
I’ve just recently stumbled upon mojeek on one of my monthly rages about the impossibility of doing an actual exact search like way back when and the general deterioration of search results on most other search engines. Someone ranted on reddit, the mojeek search engine user replied and we conversed. Real civil, no red tape.
After noticing some really good features, you are now my default search engine. Congratulations

Welcome @Yann
It’s exactly how we try to operate so I am very happy to see that’s your assessment!
I guess a lot of the ranting comes from the fact that a great deal of messages to those building and maintaining tech are left unanswered. Mojeek is improved off the back of user feedback, so a conversation or a response is always an opportunity to learn… in our eyes at least
Good morning, all.
I’ve been on the community forum for some time now and never introduced myself, so here we go!
I’m a Southern Baptist Tea Party constitutional conservative. I’m anti- Big Tech, mass and global surveillance and am a strong believer in freedom of speech and expression and the right to privacy and to be forgotten.
Use a mask. Use Tor. Resist the surveillance pandemic.
Just because you aren’t doing anything wrong doesn’t mean you aren’t being watched.
I’ve enjoyed my time here and look forward to meeting more of y’all.
