      Can we keep me safe from Pinterest? I would really like to exclude it from my search results on a permanent basis without having to explicitly filter it in my query.

          Pinterest is trash nowadays anyways, especially since they started pushing AI and also banning people because they pinned something corporate didn’t like.

          At this point, Pixelfed is both a viable Pinterest replacement and a viable IG replacement.

      You joke but pedophiles use Pinterest to stalk and coerce young girls.
