Josh @trybut.fail · 21/06/2026Your response to Leah doesn’t actually address the issue raised, it’s just a criticism of the protest mentioned. 181
Josh @trybut.fail · 29/05/2026The author of this replied to a post of mine on here about my experience with Kagi, well-articulated info about some of the speculative concerns about the company. d-shoot.net/kagi.htmld-shoot.netWhy I Lost Faith in KagiIssues with Kagi's AI focus, finances and leadership 050
Josh @trybut.fail · 29/05/2026fwiw, I was an enthusiastic paying user of Kagi until I got stormfront images in my search results. The response I got after asking on their discord was really disappointing free speech, anti-censorship bs. Wish the Verge would dig into the founder/team more, there's some clear red flags. 160
Josh @trybut.fail · 22/03/2026I appreciate you sharing this, it's really well written. The couple of times I've responded to users promoting Kagi with my own reservations/experience, it feels like talking into a void. It's kind of a relief know I'm not the only one who went through that experience of disillusionment with it. 020
Josh @trybut.fail · 20/03/2026Apparently it's not clear that the issue I had was not that I personally saw that result. 130
Josh @trybut.fail · 20/03/2026This happened 3+ yrs ago & I didn't think to preserve the query, but a) it was an image alongside my web search results (in one of those image results previews that sometimes appear), & b) it was a physical description of a character from a book, neither the text nor subtext was nazi-related 040
Josh @trybut.fail · 20/03/2026fwiw, I used Kagi until I got stormfront images in my search results. I asked about it on their discord and got a really disappointing response along the lines of ‘we don’t engage in any kind of censorship’ (they do, it’s kind of inherent to what they do, they’re just ok with surfacing nazi forums) 6581
Josh @trybut.fail · 20/08/2025fyi – the section for Ha VL mentions that the page was last update was 4/18/2018, just in case you updated that menu and forget to remove/update the date 120
