I made a search engine for liberals called hexbear.
You've made a terrible search engine, but a relatively decent dating site/news aggregator. Or so I am told. I'm only here to discuss Scrabble and european cartoons. Asterix and Obelix really went downhill huh?
Everything is woke! Movies are woke! Books are woke! Razors are woke! Search engines are woke! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOKE
(I refuse to investigate this) is it actually doing its own crawling or is it just like a searx instance?
Threw a few basic keyword searches at it and it just returns Wikipedia / Britannica as the top results, consistently.
Then I went fishing for anime torrents and got some fairly decent results.
I did some basic "news of the day" searches and I get back exactly what you'd expect. Links to PBS and NYT and WaPo for the most part.
Somehow, this is marginally better than Google/Bing, but not by much. I'm really not seeing a difference. Other than "Its based because we're conservative" what is the sell on this digital tool?
Conservatives are the hot new bait in the tech world
I hope they all get taken for long slow rides. Preferably to the bottom of large bodies of water. Or even ponds, those work too.
it's been too long and the pond hungers again
A new definition for "pond scum".
I mean, maybe. But I'm still not even sure what this is selling.
It's not like Conservapedia, which is legitimately unhinged. It's not Black Rifle Coffee, which is basically just a grift for US Military Base grocery stores. What's the point?
They're too busy getting angry over the latest culture war fad to do the hard work of enshittification
Google has been so enshittified that a le based anti-WOKR right wing alternative is still more useful lmao
Result hunter is a hilariously telling name. "No I'm not interested in searching or learning, I already know what the result is, I just need the machine to tell it to me so I can feel good about my worldview."
Many of the results are Reddit and Quora.
Google's top result is NPR which I suppose is blocked from Result Hunter.

Biden? 👁
?
This guy looks like a pedophile
It's really funny that even the name of the website is an admission they just want something that will confirm to conclussions they already arrived at.
So to take this in another direction have you tried Kagi yet?
I'm paying for Kagi and my favourite feature is the results personalisation. I can up and down-rank sites based on if I like them or not. I enjoy it and it gets frequent updates but I'm ready to unsubscribe the moment they do something stupid. Which hasn't happened yet... but I smell it in the future.
Not only do so many of these freaks look like poljak school shooters but now I can’t help but think many of these white conservatives look like the fascist who beheaded his father lol
This is an Only CHUDS zone.
