DuckDuckGo has completely removed and hidden my website -- completely, and including Ripcord -- from all search results. I only know about this because someone messaged me to say they were pointed to a site with malware instead of my real website when searching for Ripcord on DuckDuckGo.
I don't host malware or anything like that on my website. I am careful about what I have on it. I don't even host unsigned executables on it. 🥴
Bing also hides me, too, I guess.
@cancel@merveilles.town I don't think it's DuckDuckGo though; it's probably just that Bing hides our sites for whatever fucked up reason and they also disappear from DDG because DDG sources so much of its results from Bing
@amolith Not DDG's fault? They're the ones showing the results. If the results are bad it's their fault.
@cancel @amolith DuckDuckGo pulls their search results from Yahoo and Bing.
Similarly, we are not "purging" YouTube-dl or The Pirate Bay and they both have actually been continuously available in our results if you search for them by name (which most people do). Our site: operator (which hardly anyone uses) is having issues which we are looking into.
... I literally use that feature all the time
@katnjiapus @amolith As I showed in the screenshots, normal search results also do not show my site at all.
