Why not use Ecosia then? Still has some extra privacy compared to Bing and Google and meanwhile you do a lot of good for the world and a ton of people

Well that's a little depressing to know

but this site also seems super in development so who knows maybe in the future it will get better

In the mod system there probably is an easy way to make a constant, automated rule and allow post to be published only if certain criteria are met

I have no idea how to mod in this site, but on Reddit you could just put an automatic filter that either doesn't even let you post or instantly blocks your post if it doesn't meet the required criteria or specific keywords.

At least in the rules there is a thing even for the "Today I learned" sub and the "You Should Know" on Lemmy, so... worse come to worse we could just ask their mods how did they implement it?

I feel like that was a cool and unique enough mark for original subreddit to give it a different vibe than most other communities with similar intent.

It also helps standardizing the titling format just enough to make it less confusing and clearer when reading them. Now that there is a brand new modding team I feel like this could be a good thing to add here
