i feel this too, i tried using searx for a while and found it really nice but frequently down or broken :/ i’ll try some of the instances suggested here.

i haven’t seen any hard confirmation, but i believe one of these mastodon admin meetings has already happened and an nda was involved. this would be the second meeting.

as a longtime mastodon user, tech articles about the fediverse are often very confused and under researched. it’s like tech reporters take one look at the websites and their brains shut off- if they ever even looked at them to begin with.
