<p>I saw someone straight out just say &quot;I stopped using search engines because the <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a> is far better these days&quot; And, I have to agree. I was looking for an author website and Google just floods the page with their own useless book showcase thing, the one with the tabs that say reviews, description, etc, and then page 1 had nothing but storefront links. Meanwhile, I always find far more interesting stuff in here. It&#x27;s almost like human beings are bett--- Oh never mind.</p>

<p>1/ Announcement: So today being a news day I might as well announce that the team at TheCanadian.Social has officially taken ownership of <a href="https://journa.host" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>journa.host</a> and <a href="https://newsie.social" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>newsie.social</a>. We have also moved these instances to our facilities in Canada. These are two important instances hosting a large portion of the fediverse&#x27;s journalism accounts. We felt it important to keep them going as the previous stewards were considering shutting them down. <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a> <a href="/tags/fediadmin/" rel="tag">#fediadmin</a> <a href="/tags/journalists/" rel="tag">#journalists</a></p>
