I might be enjoying all of this a little too much.
This is it….after a year of waiting for the implosion of twitter..the other shoe is finally dropping
I don't think google is doing that on purpose. Search engines are supposed to remove dead links once in a while. And twitter redirecting all links to the login page, so it's effectively making duplicate results on google, which are removed. I think that's why google doesn't have too many Linkedin results.
I remember the fear as a web developer in making sure changes were good before going live for this very reason. "Please don't screw up the Google bot crawler and drop the search placement." I'd love to know if Google searches hitting private Reddit pages did a similar thing.
No. Private subs still showed the topic part of the body and like 4 words of the first comment I think before clicking to see you couldn’t read more. I think r/Homekit is an example of this at one point….
Well yeah, it wouldn't be 52% if they were doing it on purpose.
How did the twits possibly not foresee this happening? Surely they have someone with some SEO experience left, anyone.
It'll take a while to recover from this - google aren't going to add half a billion pages back in nearly as quickly as they take them out.
Why does that page read like a personal attack? Don’t get me wrong, with his latest blunders, I don’t like Elon either; but this “article” seems too unprofessional to cite here to me.
Are you really questioning the journalistic integrity of boingboing. net?
What is this world coming to...
Elon speed running the fediverse migration
The internet interprets censorship as damage and routes around it.
That's exactly what is happening now.
Love to see this but the article is written by a kid
Do you mean to tell me that a website called “boing boing” isn’t only written by the utmost professional of journalists?
Boingboing has been around since the earliest days of the web, and used to be one of the biggest sites and well respected. Scrolling through it now is pretty sad.
sad Cory Doctorow vibes
Odds are it was written by ChatGPT or similar A.I. Been seeing a LOT of articles with odd mistakes or written in "A.I. voice" lately.
Bro, what’s Twitter? I only use Mastadon instances
