 Pornhub can just run their own relay and host porn there and who likes it will just join .
Also, I didn’t know that whatever I search on here is being tracked  🧐

 Another reason not to add unreliable servers to the relay list.

Amethyst currently has separate settings for search (and damn drafts), and it's crucial to fill them out; otherwise, Amethyst will spam requests to all relays.

 Who is tracking your searches?

 All your search queries are sent to the entire list of relays, and there's no guarantee they aren't sent to relays outside this list. Basically, anyone can track your search.

 Seems like an opportunity for proxies, one time pads or multiple addresses like for BTC transactions, or something.

 There are a lot of ideas on how to make search private, but no one needs it yet. We basically have almost no search right now 😂 So we don't need to complicate it in any way.

 Search on damus is private and does not contact relays.
