I realize that search has gotten terrible in general but damn y'all could we please stop naming tools with words that have meant something 100% unrelated for centuries, it does not help anyone find, learn or do anything.
In particular if you're naming it after militarist or combative stuff, how about don't. The "six-sigma black belt" people were embarrassing enough, we do not need this.
Free software doesn't need more barriers to accessibility and participation.

People seem to rag on the Matrix team a lot on here, but they've had The Correct Approach - opt-in, auto-updating publish-subscribe blocklisting - for this problem working in production for... five? Six years, now? ... in which people and communities who trust each other can see an act of self-defense become act of collective defense with zero intervention.
We need this for IPTables.

The mutualist, automatically-updating shared defenses we need for social networks are going to be needed at the IP layer too. If we're going to have room to curate good actions we need to automate the process of blocking bad actors.

You knew that anyone with the least authoritarian bent in them were going to fall in line hard and fast but I did not expect to see the ADL, who describe themselves as "A global leader in combating antisemitism, countering extremism and battling bigotry wherever and whenever it happens", making excuses for a longtime fascist and eugenicist making a nazi salute within bare hours of a regime change.
