@janneke I do that because the Fediverse has a far higher rate of delivering good answers than any of the popular search engines (which primarily return slop - either their own, or SEO slop).

Fedi is the best general purpose search engine we have currently! The latency ain't great, but the correctness and the detail are amazing.

If you're lucky, you get multiple infodumps, and will in turn, have a multiple new people to follow for more interesting infodumps!
