I could see the EU backing down a few years ago, but these days they have watered down any actual advantage in search by filling their results with ads and low quality content. Not that I use Reddit any more, but a good Reddit search engine would probably be better for a lot of use cases.

    Then you got people like Musk using their websites as foreign influence platforms to restore Nazis into power so I'd imagine there's an appetite for not being so reliant on the increasingly belligerent US media oligarchy, which itself is the victim of Fox News and Murdoch.

    Plus everything is already enshittified anyway so easy to create better.

    Reddit search engine? Hell nah I want more federated communities. Reddit has a contract with google anyways that blocks out foreign web crawlers.

    That's what I mean. Their own native search that only searches Reddit. I'm not saying it would be great, just better than Google for many uses cases.

    This isn't me talking up Reddit—I haven't been back in over a year. This is me trashing Google.
