@hacks4pancakes I'm disappointed in #duckduckgo I suppose

I thought that #DuckDuckGo had a super cool feature for blocking junk sites from #search results, but it turns out they limit you to just FIVE?? What the heck? Why??

La première étape consiste à abandonner les navigateurs qui sont de véritables passoires, comme #Google #Chrome, conçu par une régie publicitaire pour servir d'autres régies. Privilégiez des alternatives comme #Mozilla #Firefox (en mode de protection "Strict"), ou encore #DuckDuckGo et #Brave, qui bloquent nativement tous les traqueurs.

#DuckDuckGo (https://noai.duckduckgo.com) has a really cool feature where you can block websites from all searches.
That could be something that could make searching the enshittified web bareable again, but then they limit it to 5 websites you can block. Why?!?!

I want to block *all* websites that track me, have bad cookie banners (no one-click denial), have paywalls, contain AI, contain propaganda etc.
I'm aware that that means blocking most of the internet and it takes a long time to add all pages to the blocklist, but then you could easily share the blocklist with others or just import the blocklist from uBlock origin.

5 blocks doesn't even begin to block all GAFAM urls. Get outa here!

🤔 This is *not* a good look.

Is Bing actively trying to stifle the #indieWeb & the #smallWeb ? Who knows!

Regardless - what you can do:
- pick a different search engine if you are using Bing. #DuckDuckGo, #Qwant, #Startpage come to mind as great first picks.
- start up your own little #indieWeb #smallWeb site! Share what you like. It doesn't have to be complicated. A small blog, a digital garden.
- seek out #webrings, share content from small/indie sites that you enjoy!

#search #Bing #NeoCities

What this means is that Duck Duck Go, alongside basically every search engine that is not google, has completely delisted Neocities.

Which feels like something a lot of y'all should know!

#Neocities #DuckDuckGo

So I never really looked into it, but I guess Neocities is like... an indy place where people can post their own stuffs?

Anyway, it looks like Bing is blocking them from showing up in the search results. From what they're implying (neo), it looks like Bing is giving them one of those infuriating non-answers corpos love to hand out these days.

You know...

1) We confirm that your account is banned / you are banned

2) We will not reverse the ban.

3) We will not tell you why we did it.

4) But trust us, it was because 'policy violation.'

I've run into this sometimes too, like... I use a VPN and I've got myself banned from some shopping sites for ...you know, like... buying things and paying for them consistently.

Anyway I think I had a point, I dunno... I need more coffee. OH. Right. If you're using a Bing based search then you might be getting filtered results or something. So maybe look at other searches?

I use Kagi, but I bet a lot of people have recommends. Post in the comments (and if you know, tell us who they use to search!)

Thanks to @literalgrill for the head's up on Bing's trash behavior.
