I’m running it on a remote server.

I don’t personally want any affiliation with Microsoft, someone please do this, I’ve searched the issues and there are no opening issues about this one.

Some YouTuber made a Minecraft ring world, worth checking out

Self-host yourself is the safest option, I do.

Mlem and Liftoff have been solid

SearXNG, there’s nothing much else to say.

Signal is okay as much as privacy is concerned, but it doesn’t solve all the problems with communications in real world. For instance its centralized design means it can be easily blocked, a private Matrix server on the other hand will not even make it on the radar.

MITM is the endgame

The above, not much you can do

They are less invasive on the privacy front, but they also push their products much harder down user’s throat due to less revenue from less accurate ads, just look at DDG’s frontpage.

I also found them self-censoring towards IPs from China, albeit this could be the direct result of using Bing’s search results.

It’s much easier to compare it with something like SearXNG which has the same core principle, without ads, without censorships, without invasive marketing.

To me, Brave or DuckDuckGo are as malicious as Google

Is it open source though?
