I apologize if this is old news, but I just noticed it. It looks like Kagi has added Fediverse Forums as a default Web search option.

Just came across https://d-shoot.net/kagi.html . Seems like there are more good reasons to avoid it besides it also using Yandex as an index.
I encourage subscribers to go make themselves heard on this post if you support being able to disable particular indexes such as Yandex.
Thanks for the link, I'll def be more critical about it in the future.
I'll still use it (for now) because as a no-nonsense customizable search engine its by far the best I've tried.
They're definitely stretching themselves too thin, but as long as I get better and more relevant, cleaner, no advertising search results for my knowledge work and research. With my privacy in tact.
Then I'm continuing to pay them for a product I find to be superior than the alternatives.
Eh, doesn't discouraged me from using em. For me is them or Google. As those are the only two useable engines for my type of surfing.
