🤔 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. #Qwant and #Startpage (and #DuckDuckGo - see note below) 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!
update - see interesting notes from other users re: DuckDuckGo, which claims to at least partially use Bing, but shows NeoCities in results.
Acabo de leer sobre esta propuesta de implementación de un nuevo modelo de Webrings, en un intento de crear mecanismos confiables para crear círculos de confianza para la web usando tecnología moderna.

No sé si esta es la solución última, pero coincido en la motivación de buscar formas de rescatar aunque sea una parte de la web antes de que la basura generada con LLMs y bots nos tape por completo.

What do we do now that search engines no longer work ?
Bring back webrings ?? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webring
Are there any other ways to find good content that don't rely on mega corps ?
#WeekNotes 004 is out on #BurgeonLab
📆 2025: Week 47/52
[Nov 17 – 23]
✍️ https://burgeonlab.com/weeknotes/2025/w47/
Another late week note... I'll definitely try to write one earlier this week! Week 47 is all about #Indieweb! There's #IRC, #webrings, #webmentions and a smattering of links I came across.
Saw that my css joy webring neighbor has a guest book. Pretty cool! :) now I want to say hi to other neighbors…
@taatm @molly0xfff the Web1.0 (pre Web2.0 of corporate walled gardens) solution was simple: RSS/email lists + webrings.
it should be adopted by the coming Web1.0+ - a de-centralized, federated internet, ran for and by People, often self-hosted, where corporations do NOT control what we see or can do and access, but now with obscenely fast broadband and stupid powerful processors, running on FOSS =D
Webrings are alive and well. I have proof!
