With Google choosing ensloppification, here's a recommendation for an independent search engine to try.
Mojeek (on the Fedi at @Mojeek ) is an independent search engine based out if the UK. Unlike the various front ends to Bing, it runs its own web crawler.
The most impressive feature is you enter the thing you want to search for, and it returns a list of website links.
The author of @allaboutberlin on how Google AI Overviews are killing independent web publishing, citing a 70% drop in traffic after seven years of steady growth. His work trains the model. The model is replacing his site. There is no credit, clicks, or revenue. This is what the "enshittification" of the open web looks like in practice.
Hard to imagine moving to Berlin without stumbling upon his guides at some point.
AI is killing All About Berlin. When you Googled something, you used to get a link to my website. Now you get an AI-generated answer trained on my work.
This has a devastating impact on traffic. It's hard to fund my work with 70% fewer visitors.
Fancy a signed copy of Enshittification by Cory Doctorow? New members who sign up for an annual membership* will bag themselves this special gift alongside the other ORG goodies.
Will you join us in celebrating @pluralistic joining ORG as a patron?
Open Rights Group is the UK’s largest grassroots digital rights campaigning organisation, fighting to protect everyone’s rights to privacy and free speech online.
It is the epitome of @pluralistic #enshittification that to access all the features of my breast pump, I have to install an app on my phone AND create an online user account 💀
Months after putting it on hold (it's popular!), I finally get to borrow Cory Doctorow's ( @pluralistic@mamot.fr ) Enshittification from Parramatta Library.
"Our current globalised #tech industry can only exist because of the protectionism and policy uniformity imposed by the #UnitedStates on its hegemony. That billions of people across dozens of countries work and interact on unified platforms whose laws and regulations are, for all practical purposes, basically that of the #US... is an artifact of US dominance." baldurbjarnason.com/2026/the-o…
Mit Begeisterung lese ich gegewärtig das neue Buch von Cory Doctorow „Enshittification“ – Wie Tech-Konzerne uns ausbeuten und was wir dagegen tun können.
Cory Doctorow (@pluralistic) erklärt laiengerecht, warum Online-Dienste immer schlechter und teurer wurden u. werden. Auch Tipps wie das Prekäriat der Geek-Economy, sich erfolgreich gegen die grassierenden Boss-Ware wehrt, kann man dem Text entnehmen.

Jetzt auf deutsch erschienen: "Enshittification. Wie Tech-Konzerne uns ausbeuten und was wir dagegen tun können." Steht ganz oben auf unserer privaten Leseliste. Und im Laden steht es natürlich auch :) Mit #enshittification zeigt @pluralistic nicht nur auf, wie Online-Services immer schlechter werden, sondern erklärt auch die epidemische Dynamik, mit der diese Verschlechterung geschieht. Außerdem Anleitung zum Widerstand. :) #politics #politik #bucher #books #livres #essay #chemnitz #sachsen
🎙️ Seguimos con los conceptos que @pluralistic brillantemente nos explicó en la presentación de su nuevo libro #mierdificación (ed. @Capitan_Swing), con Simona Levi en Llibreria Finestres.
"Un centauro inverso es un humano limitado a servir a la máquina. Así es como el capitalismo usa la automatización, no para mejorar la calidad, sino la cantidad."

the gringolarchy’s obsession with “backwards colonizing” England ―not necessarily the UK, btw― is reflected on their takeover of the NHS and funding of Reform UK to expand their prison-industrial-complex.
this isn't new but it has been uncharacteristically relentless for the past 10-15 years.
gringolada, agringados are neologisms we’ve used in Latin America to refer to the OG #enshittification : the gringofication of everything.
“We’re not gringos, stop Reform UK” should be a #UKpol slogan.
Reform UK Ltd has released a new policy (possibly illegal were it enacted).
"In order to deport all illegal migrants in Britain, a Reform government will build detention capacity for at least 24,000 illegal migrants at a time.
Groundwater contamination is usually irreversible. $20 million is peanuts for Amazon. Just the cost of doing business whilst raping the planet continues. #enshittification.

Amazon agreed to pay 20.5m USD to settle allegations that two of its data centres in Oregon contaminated groundwater in the community.
