Mojeek VS Openverse

If you are curious to find more interesting stuff, start here: – https://mojeek.com/ search engine with own index, totally different results - https://wiby.me/ another search engine, but "old school" kind of web sites. It does not mean that site cannot be new, but it just looks and feels like old school web pages. Funny way is use that "surprise me..." link there to find something -... Source: 5 months ago

Search engines. Search engines have a massive hand when it comes to centralising. Both Google and Bing prioritise centralised services no matter how irrelevant their pages are. Just try an independent engine like https://mojeek.com and see for yourself how vastly different the surfing experience is. It's like you're back to the time when the internet was accessible and not centralised to a few Big Tech apps and... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

> In addition, a searchable database of Creative Commons works would be a welcome addition to the Internet. Openverse is a CC search engine with 600 million items: https://wordpress.org/openverse/ And of course, Google Images supports CC search for images. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
