Nobody needs to die just because Google let out an inappropriate fart.

I guess people would create pages full of links to their real pages.

You die if your website is not indexed by the largest search engine.

Basically websites would link to each other in the old internet, to create a “ring” of sorts. It mostly functioned as an algorithm of sorts, without actually being an algorithm.

I have noticed google doing a bunch more monopoly stuff since they weren’t willing to pay the government not to be called a monopoly, I guess they aren’t afraid of being a

monopoly anymore since they have been declared a monopoly hay did you know google was legally ruled a monopoly?

Seriously, they are shamelessly holding the internet hostage. This is the kind of thing we would send James Bond in to deal with.

I don’t know about federated, but there is SearXNG, which is FOSS. There are plenty of public instances or you can run your own instance.

If you are willing to pay money ($5-10 USD) then I recommend Kagi. In my opinion Kagi is worth the money, as it it provides much better results and has a lot more features. Like SearXNG, it is also ad-free.
