Kagi's big feature was site blocklists; now apparently Duck Duck Go has added it. But this is an individual solution to a systemic problem. I don't want to play whack-a-mole with a fathomless galaxy of slop. We need *collective* site blocklists that can be shared and curated by trusted institutions. (It would be nice if that institution were, like, a search engine, but so it goes) https://toot.cat/@smp/115276683961453207

Duck Duck Go has added a tremendously useful feature to their search -- a permanent block. Any site can be added to a block list to never show up in any of your search results again. I will be using this on any site that is obviously spitting out AI generated "articles."
