I love that wiki.archlinux.org is a top-Pinned. I'm firmly a Debian shop, but I find that the Arch Linux wiki often answers non-distro-specific questions that I have about how to do something on Debian. (Especially since I'm usually using Xmonad without a lot of the "desktop environment" stuff.)

But blocking political sites you don't agree with? I don't get it, it's not like they are polluting my search results.

What direction was the skew?
Of course, Fox News has made the legal argument that people shouldn't believe what they say (https://www.npr.org/2020/09/29/917747123/you-literally-cant-...), so it's not surprising that people paying for a service to look for actual information would block them.

I found that interesting too. Not a Kagi customer yet but I always feel the need when googling to be able to blacklist SEO spammers, and that would include Pinterest as an image SEO spammer.

You don't go there for news. You go there for your daily set of outrage and panic.

foxnews.com is near the top of the block list.

I never understood why Google let them destroy Google Image search results.

The Arch Linux Wiki has some awesome information, but it's a little too informal for it to be a go-to for me. It's information is incomplete, opinionated, and sometimes has a "works on my machine" sort of a vibe. But sometimes it just has the answer you need in an easily digestible format. Top 10 source for me, but not a top 3. -- Some nerd with almost two decades of distro-hopping experience.
But for getting pointed in the right direction about things that have been obscured by the desktop environments, and then left largely undocumented nowadays, the Arch Linux wiki usually points me in the right direction.
Much of it would be pretty confusing to someone who only wanted high-level documentation in terms of the Gnome Desktop or KDE Plasma, though.
