Are there search engines that work like this: I publish my own list of sites on some topic that it should index.
And then perhaps I compose bigger lists with trusted others?
I googled for federated search but that's about searching the fediverse or federating search engines. I guess I'm looking for a federated search index.
I very occasionally check my formerly-known-as-Twitter account (because every few weeks, someone sends me a DM still).
I'm disheartened to see that there's still so much content over there I miss here, because so many accounts are only on X still - including friends, but also orgs like Amnesty Germany, local initiatives, etc posting different content to different channels, et al. I assume it's the same on BSky.
Don't get me wrong, I love the #fediverse, but I hate missing out.
It might be obvious and old news, but on my rare logins to #Instagram I saw a new message of their privacy policy to be updated this month: Every content from every post will be used to train their AI.
If you are a visual artist of any kind and use the platform, #Meta will use your creation against you, literally. You either learn how to publish and own your data, or you’ll be stolen.
