I mean they just defederated from two of the biggest instances (including lemmy.world) and have the largest list of blocked instances of any instance

ITT: Awful linguistics takes

People writing of instead of 've is pretty well attested before Siri even existed so I doubt that has much to do with it

SearXNG personally

The other thing is that Discord search is god awful. There's absolutely no way to modify your search for better results, whether that's to require something to appear exactly as typed, or to exclude certain results, it's just you put in the words and hope you get the right thing. Sometimes that works out, but sometimes it will make the dumbest connections and render your search useless unless you want to trawl through pages of crap you don't want. Like I've found out that Discord considers the words universal, universe, and university to be the same...
