Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

I stopped using the Google for everything (minus youtube) years ago. I had moved to Ecosia, I believe it is a US based charity (edit I was corrected it is a European non profit) project to plant trees in the desert and stuff. I know it took search things from, I wanna say; Google, Bing, and maybe Yahoo to get search results (will be trying to move to the EU search engine some time). I am sure the ads, that my pihole setup could not block, they show where from Google (edit Yahoo and Google) but it is not like I intentionally clicked them.

I got onto the self hosting train fairly hard because of the BoycottUS movement and I finally got searXNG working and set up as my default search engine on my iPad. Sure it is pulling results from US search engines but I am not paying for them (via my eyeballs on ads) and it is another US service I get to remove from the list of things to boycott!

Searxing is great. Incredibly customisable, and the search is powerful if you want it to be. Using tags to limit which query goes to which engine is something I should utilise more. !WP only going to Wikipedia, or !translate only going to selected translate engines.

Cool beans, I just started using it and have yet to look up a cheat sheet. I just setup my phone to use it, I wireguard into my place to use my pihole setup so I will be using searXNG away from my LAN as well. I kinda wish I chose a better name than search.home as the domain but nothing was comming to me when I setup caddy.
