wdym??

lmao i was about to come on here and make the same status

it's really sad, the poster is 16 but it seems like they're struggling with some arrested development/emotional regulation issues and have been using these public outbursts to further emotionally harm themself. hopefully their parents step in or they can talk to a councilor, they need offline support

er, counselor* lol

now they are suspended.

i went to see their posts to see what's going on and man. this kid needs serious help.

Echoing itpuddle's sentiment. It's been 3 days since their Neociites was deactivated and I thought they would have calmed down by now, but in hindsight I don't have the full picture of what's going on with them. This seems like a long-burning issue, they *have* to talk with someone safely.

it seems like the posts r gone

So do I *want* to know what's going on here or

unfortunately i see them a lot as someone who uses linux and while they're usually fine you have to do your best to be as apolitical around them Lest Something Happens

Didn't they sell their data to Microsoft at some point? Or am I misremembering

ive never heard of that but that doesnt mean it didnt happen i guess

This is the first time I've heard of DDG being touted by right-wingers.

I can vouch it's fine, I use it personally, I haven't noticed anything odd from my usage of it?

@macaque it was an issue with the Duckduckgo Private Browser app back in 2022 (see https://www.pcmag.com/news/duckduckgos-browser-wont-block-microsofts-trackers)

piggybacking. ive used duckduckgo for many years now. the more you use it the better you understand how to search for stuff. i will say that i feel the search results are better than google if you are looking for a more diverse result. google tends to show you the same hits multiple times.
