Minus VS DuckDuckGo: Bang

Minus is pretty fun. You get to post 100 times until you can't post anymore https://minus.social/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

> That's a big part of the appeal of places like Hacker News and Tumblr- the focus on being a social network without adding in additional ad-delivery "features." I myself wouldn't count Hacker News as a social network. There isn't anything that caters towards individuals making connections with one another.

Where is the place to add personal bangs to DuckDuckGo? I can't find it in https://duckduckgo.com/bangs or https://duckduckgo.com/settings. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
