The official #PeerTube search index #SepiaSearch contains some nasty videos.
I don't think it's PeerTube's aim, it seems to just be a result of using blocklists rather than allowlists on their index. Blocklists place all the burden on random volunteers constantly checking for violations, whereas allowlists protect by default.
Would you be interested in using an alternative PeerTube search engine that is based on an allowlist?

I haven't tried Sepiasearch yet. So I couldn't have any valuable opinion now. But as far as I am concerned, a good search engine is necessary and i 'd rather let to any user his freedom and independence of choice.
@FediVideos Just learning of this now from your poll, but I wonder if there would be any value to adding the equivalent of 'Safe Search' to sepia? Like, a setting that toggles between content results from an Allowlist or content results from everywhere.
@FediVideos I have tried to find "nasty stuff" and find it difficult. Not so much maybe what is being talked about here. I am sure that there's stuff that I keep finding on YouTube which makes a big point of being "not allowed on YouTube."
That said, I also have found it is getting easier and easier, to find "dangerous misinformation" type stuff on PeerTube, without even searching.
