The future of decentralization is here
Decentralization is trending and growing by the day. Think of Mastodon as a good example of decentralization of social media. While in it's infancy, it has great potential to break the monoculture of the tech giants. Next to mastodon there are other alternatives to big tech and most notably are decentralized search engines. We found a few that might be of interest to anyone who is interested in privacy first and want to limit the influence of big tech on their lives. Decentralization is here and it is the future of many new webprojects.
A list of decentralized search engines we discovered:
Presearch
