you don't have to tell me information about why Rui's drive is gone, I just googled it because I forgot their name (I thought it was Anadius' drive at first)
Damn, we are finally indexed??
Which is probably why the lemmy UI started getting randomly overwhelmed from AI scraping bots :S
We should invent something that rotates community IDs but only non-bots see the real IDs, flood lemmy instanced with anti-AI posts and dont federate those posts.
Like, lemmy.ml/c/linux is suddenly garbage, and actually another community.
But I guess that would create massive drawbacks in UX, requiring javascript, logins or even captchas and breaking links
It's almost impossible to determine bots nowadays. They're better at solving captchas than humans.
Celebrate all the things!
Better than Tumblr!
It's just cool to see Lemmy in any search result. It kind of reinforces that what we are doing here matters. Downside is that if an instance goes down, only a potential archive is there.
be aware that google results are personalized for you, so that really doesn't say much about what "average user" sees...
Well this is duck duck go, I don't think that is personalized?
@14th_cylon they're using duckduckgo though.
Oh, I missed that. I am not sure whether it behaves similarly to Google in this.
DDG makes it quite the statement that they don't personalise your search in any way, to the point where you can pick which country's tailored results you want from a dropdown.
I used tor to check if it was just on my end and it was the 6th result there
Can confirm same result when searching through searx instances, result provided by google.
Google search is complete shite nowadays. We're just lucky nobody is advertising for those keywords.
The research is from Duck Go Go as most people have already said but I appreciate your comment offending Google. More people should do this nowadays!
eh, ddg is just bing. Only marginally better ideologically, and probably worse practically.
fr!! im always confused when people advertise ddg as 'the best privacy browser' when it is well-known their results are bing's, also the huge marketing campaign they did about how they're 'the most private and respect your privacy' just weirded me out?? like it was a bit suspicious idk. oh yeah and that thing where the mobile ddg browser allowed microsoft trackers on microsoft ads because of their deal with bing (hey that rhymed!!)
++ half the time when i searched for anything moderately obscure there would be 0 results, or even if i didnt search for stuff like that i'd get results completely unrelated to my query.
What's a good web search engine nowadays?
None. There's no good ones. There's at best acceptable ones
