Why won't my ex leave me the fuck alone?

[-] atocci@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

Reddit actually solved that problem for me by blocking themselves from appearing in Bing search results.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

Christ, don't make me switch to Bing.

[-] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Just switch to Duck Duck Go. It's Bing with less spying on you.

Either DuckDuckGo or Startpage both are quite decent and serve the same purpose.

Ahh that explains why Ecosia has remained so pleasant to use. Bing can't scrape it anymore 😅

Oh boy... Just wait until they go full into Gemini. They're starting to use Gemini and AI in general for search capabilities.

Yeah, I've long since stopped using Google. Theres not any search engines I've found that mimic Google in its height, but many of them are better than what Google is now. Even bing.

She did me dirty bro she deserves it

That's just the way it is.

When Reddit was new, it mentioned Digg a lot.
When Digg was new, it mentioned /. a lot.
When /. was new (yes, I was there, too), it mentioned Usenet a lot.

At some points in time, the likes of The WELL, the Facepunch forums and Metafilter got their own mentions, prompting me to check them out.

No Fark? No Plastic?

[-] MerchantsOfMisery@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 months ago

Agreed. Lemmy has its own issues .

[-] Jiggle_Physics@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah, at the core, people cause problems when the group gets too big to be a tight knit one. There are also a not insignificant amount of people, who get together, with antisocial behavior in mind. When you have thousands of people, posting on some community forum, it will be impossible for it not have some serious underlying issues. Not to even think of the scale of places like reddit, where that forum could have millions of users.

Back in the day, when IRC ruled the social scene of the internet, it was hard to control a channel that had 100+ people on it, forget about crowds orders of magnitude larger.
