I’ve been using Kagi for three years as of today, it remains one of the best changes to my online habits. Even without its various features, it is fantastic to use a search engine that works like a search engine is supposed to. Everyone who actually tries it on my suggestion has loved it
katbamkapow.bsky.social kat @katbamkapow.bsky.social · 1d
our household has converted to the kagi search engine & i'm impressed by its FEATURES (did you know that your search engine could do what YOU want it to do??) for instance: the community-driven "stopslop" where people downrank results that are full of AI slop.

I would still love to write on Emmy one day, even if my fascination with it is mostly aesthetic. She’s been a favourite of mine to commission (since Yakyūken’s Megumi is a little too abstract to work with)

Porn and erotica are important and societally valuable forms of speech, and the defense of them, in the face of state and church attempts at repression, is a necessary political act.

Another Twitter exodus? Well, what the fuck were y'all still doing there? 😀

Anyway, welcome. I'm in this @thestacks.ca starter pack of local porn/eroge enthusiasts. Although, I'm by far the most unhinged of them. Sorry about that? The rest are nice, regular people. Follow them, maybe 🙏

Was keeping my Twitter active but locked so it at least wouldn't be actively scraped but I fail to see the point in maintaining any presence, however minimal, on a site that is ramping up its active, wilful harm past a threshold I already thought it could never cross.

If you haven’t read it yet, I’d love it if ya did! My hope is to write a follow up to this later in the year to compare the amateur archiving/preservation process to the professional sphere
