Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Yeah, Duckduckgo, but I find accuracy a bit questionable. It's not as predictive as Google. If you have suggestions though I'll def try them.
Apparently Bing is great for porn but I wouldn't know.
DDG is just Bing anyway
At least it doesn't have AMP.
Underrated comment.
Fwiw, Amplosion is a great iOS app/safari extension to de-AMP google search results. Bonus: it’s made by Christian Selig, the dev behind Apollo (rip).
The other reason I quit using Google is because Google shows you what they think you want to see, rather than just what they found. I'm not really interested in buying an extension to make Google's filter bubble usable.
I just want a search engine that is brave enough to give me no results.
DuckDuckGo is shit. It doesn't even understand basic syntax like quotes for some reason. I would rather have it only give me a few results to my query as opposed to showing me unrelated nonsense. Through the years I will occasionally try to give it a chance, but I can never find anything useful with it.
Then everyone tells me "well, I just use DuckDuckGo to search Google using !g". Well what the heck is the point of doing that? Now I have to type two extra characters to search the exact same search engine I was using anyway.
The point is to only use Google when DDG doesn't give the results you want.
I agree with you. I just never get very useful results from it.
