What makes kagi users more of a community than other search engine users? I imagine it's a somewhat self-selecting group so I can't tell if it's just verbiage or a meaningful distinction.

I think it's similar to those note taking apps that were big a few years ago (Roam Research, Obsidian etc.)

Being weird enough to not use the free incumbent and pay for a niche solution instead means you share values with those people, which unites them and creates a community
