Controvercial take: Mastodon is already build on a no trust architecture with only public stuff leaving your instance so it doesn’t fucking matter and thisdebarte is fucking stupid!!! Damn I needed a Reddit like place to leave stuff like this really bad!
I can highly recommend Brave search, they have their own index and don’t “comply” with the DMCA because it’s not actually required for a search engine but sadly also not forbidden. I love it every time piratebay.org shows up when it obviously should and not some scummy fake sites!
I enabled it by accident once, can’t say I understand how to pull it off!
