Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

I’ve used DuckduckGo for at least a decade. When they started embedding their little AI summary thing at the top of the chat I knew it was coming. But recently, it seems when I search anything I get tons of the same slop, SEO pumped, AI generated info pages. There was a time when I would at least stumble upon an old HTML article from a university or something. Everything sucks now. Do they even make encyclopedia books anymore?
