Huge yikes.

Kagi is now partnering with Brave to power its search results — and they seem to be dismissing their users’ concerns regarding this partnership with a company that’s notorious for being led by a proud anti gay rights supporter.

Just as I’ve consistently advised against using Brave’s products, I now advise against using Kagi as long as it contributes to a homophobic business.

There can be no neutral politics when it comes to people’s rights and lives.

I don't generally disable it across the browser, but uBlock Origin does it on a site by site basis which I do whenever I get one of those popups asking me to sign up for their email newsletter or whatever. Those sites instantly lose JavaScript privileges

So true! We tried to just let trannies do their own thing, and then they beat up women and raped kids whilst asserting that's what it means for them "to exist". Total Troon Death!

At one point I thought I had an abundance of tolerance, but I clearly underestimated the gluttony of those that would demand it from me.

Sui,
@Sui@decayable.ink avatar

Yep, I viewed them as just unwilling sufferers of a mental disorder. I even felt pity.

Then I got told that it's not a mental disorder.

... Then I saw people choose to self diagnose it...

..... Then I saw pedophiles and other rapists being defended for it...

........ Then I was told that not supporting lesbians being raped by men in skirts was transphobic.

So now I'm a transphobe with a brand new woodchipper.

When Jaden coined that iconic catchphrase it was actually in reference to his affinity for violating the official rules of the Yugioh card game.

@Hoss @Tony @Sui @Jonaschuzzlewit @conspiracy @nileane @rapist honestly, if my opponent pulled up with a neo space deck I'd let him cheat out of respect. Takes them life to summon some Neos fusion you've never seen before with 2600 attack that destroys one face up trap card then loses them the duel

@Hoss @Tony @Sui @Jonaschuzzlewit @conspiracy @nileane @rapist he'll be wearing a yugi wig (probably closer to a prosthetic than a wig) and cheating just like the real yugi

The rules are whatever the fuck you want when you cosplay as Yugi, it's in the official tournament rulebook. Makes soy judges seethe every time.

What a disappointment.

I was genuinely enthusiastic about Kagi. I've been using the service for about a month, and I would have gladly continued my subscription for what I thought was a great product.

But there's no way I'm letting any more of my money go to them if they're perfectly aware that there's a chance it could end up in the accounts of those who actively fight to have me stripped of my rights.

Here’s a couple of screenshots from the forum thread since it seems to be down at the moment.

1st screenshot is the initial post from a user expressing their concerns.

2nd and 3rd screenshots are responses from the Kagi team.

Response from Vlad (Kagi team): “It is easy to get distracted. Google, Microsoft, Mojeek and Yandex all may not align with our mission to humanize the web in their current form. And some of these companies (may have) had far more shadier practices, depending on your point of view. But now by using their technolgy, they are contributing to our mission. By using their technology, we do not need to necessarly align with their business practices, leadership or mission. If someone does not agree with their government, that does not mean they should not be using the roads and other infrastructure of their country. If on the other hand we worried about all these things like it is suggested here, Kagi would not be possible. And what about Javascript? Should everyone stop using it completely because it was invented by the very same person they may not like on a personal level? Clearly these are arguments that go nowhere and benefit nobody. We are staying focused on being in the business of providing best search in the world and showing that a paid business model is the only sane way of doing this. Happy New Year!”
One other response from the Kagi team (Vlad): “Our goal is to provide best web results in the world. That means including as many sources of search results. By including results from Brave API, we add more results to our pool, and we put users ahead of money because this costs us additional money to provide. We do it anyway as we believe that Kagi users deserve to have the best search results in the world, from a wide range of diverse sources. This ensures that if you can not find something on Kagi, you can not find it anywhere else. We evaluate APls only on the basis of merit in the context of providing superior search engine results. Considering company x founder political views is not a factor in this evaluation. We are primarly in the business of search and we'd like to stay focused on that.”

After exchanging a few DMs with Kagi founder Vladimir Prelovac tonight, it seems that they are not going to change or evolve their stance on this matter anytime soon. Welp.

Have you thought about @Zaclys a French CHATON offering a fully customizable search engine for free ?
AFAIK it is based on SearXNG (or something similar, I may have messed up some letters 😅)

    olmitch,

    Also sure the crypto functionality in Brave is optional and easy to turn off with a click, but even trying to do something with crypto in your business is a zero tolerance offence for some reason

    @Moon@shitposter.club avatar

    @olmitch @Hoss @burner @nileane @sunmcnukes I think they are de-emphasizing their own token even as they are making the crypto wallet integration more up-front.

    olmitch,

    What makes you think that? Brave Rewards is available by default when you install Brave still https://brave.com/brave-rewards/

    olmitch,

    People think doing anything at all with tokens is shady The government wants them to be regulated like securities. It's all just about taxes

    Moon,
    @Moon@shitposter.club avatar

    @olmitch @tiskaan @nileane @burner @sunmcnukes @Hoss there are tokens that have tried to comply with government regulations and the government just jerks them around and then threatens them with criminal charges for not complying with impossible compliance.

    Moon,
    @Moon@shitposter.club avatar

    @olmitch @Hoss @burner @nileane @sunmcnukes @tiskaan that said for every honest token there's a hundred dishonest ones.

    Are Starbucks gift cards securities? How about Robux? Animal Crossing Turnips?
