I don’t know about your DNS provider farming queries through your search engine (I guess by fetching the content of the visible results?) but I do know that if you have search suggestions on then everything you type is sent to your search engine and recorded before you even hit enter.

Supposedly DuckDuckGo doesn’t retain this data but I’ve been out of the loop so that may have changed at some point. I’ve heard conflicting stories about their privacy and I haven’t dug into it yet.

For DNS providers though you can check out these: https://www.privacyguides.org/en/dns/#recommended-providers

I find it amusing how often these groups say “No bigotry” in their rules, but make the exception whenever it fits their beliefs. Almost like it’s virtue signalling or something.

Not to mention the predictable “No *phobia”. Which in of itself is intolerance of other views.

I figured it out. I had a capital letter in the URL name.

Also no banner or icons were necessary which is nice.

Thank you for the idea.

In both the name and the display name boxes it was just the word “Discussions”. It’s possible I left a space at the end so I’ll give it another shot.

Also I did put in a banner and icon placeholder till I figure a real one out, but is that also a requirement to create?

I like the maturity and levelheadedness here.

I’ve never seen such consistent respect during disagreements before. Sure one or two occasional ones on reddit, or maybe even discord groups. But here it seems commonplace.

It could be that we’re still small, but I hope the culture continues to be good.

It might not be wise to dig up deleted comments. It’s no spez editing comments, but it does seem wrong in a way.

Tbf everything on the internet is saved somewhere. But people will feel less comfortable talking about what they honestly think if they think their wishes to be forgotten aren’t being respected by the mods themselves.

Star Trek: Picard was a masterpiece.

Not the usual star trek style, I get it. And the third season had plot holes galore.

But the first and second seasons were the chefs kiss.

Np, thanks for understanding

Essentially giving out tickets for jaywalking when there’s a robbery going down a few feet away.

It means I’m an idiot. Haha

I meant to say something along the lines of

“People who prioritize hunting down artists and those who download art are prolonging the real abuse and sexual exploitation of actual children.” That’s not to say it’s an active effort to, but it’s a result of misappropriating effort.

I just woke up when I wrote that and am still tired so sorry for the typos and wording.
