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!

@literalgrill What I wonder is, what other sites aren't we getting cus Bing randomly decided to fuck them over and they don't have a standing army of extremely dedicated people willing to raise a fuzz over it?
@Owlor Sometimes, Anime Herald, the site I work for, has been outright blocked by Bing for MONTHS for no reason. I've heard of this happening to others too.
It's pretty frustrating, Bing does a horrific job of answering or offering any help when this happens too. Or even explaining why you've been delisted.
@literalgrill Did not know that DDG repackaged Bing!
independent websites made by real human beings, personal pages, and creative projects on the open web
For finding websites that fit this criteria, there are smaller search engines more focused on them, like Marginalia Search or Wiby.

This makes me want to sign up for Neocities. If Microsoft don't like them, Neocities must be doing something right.
@Hawaii @literalgrill they do! They are the new "geocities" for people that were on the internet in the ealry days, was the place where you can get your web space for free! At that time was something like 2mb of space and a url like: /subfold1/subfolder2/subforlder3/nickname 😁
But it was worth it! 😁
All those blockquotes, and blinks on the pages, with ugly sites, but clearly handcrafted!
The internet was a better place!
