Is this referring to kbin.social, or do all kbin instances work this way?

What makes those block lists uncomfortable for you, genuinely curious?

Torrent search engines that crawl the DHT seem like they’d be the least likely to be taken down, as they don’t host any torrent files or run their own trackers, they simply crawl the torrent DHT directly for magnet links.

Here are my two favorite DHT-based torrent search engines:

• https://bitsearch.to
• https://btdig.com

Cool! Good to know
