you don’t have to tell me information about why Rui’s drive is gone, I just googled it because I forgot their name (I thought it was Anadius’ drive at first)

      Which is probably why the lemmy UI started getting randomly overwhelmed from AI scraping bots :S

        We should invent something that rotates community IDs but only non-bots see the real IDs, flood lemmy instanced with anti-AI posts and dont federate those posts.

        Like, lemmy.ml/c/linux is suddenly garbage, and actually another community.

        But I guess that would create massive drawbacks in UX, requiring javascript, logins or even captchas and breaking links

          It’s almost impossible to determine bots nowadays. They’re better at solving captchas than humans.

            The world we created…

            Actually with electronic cryptographic IDs we could get rid of a shitload of issues. Everyone gets 2 passkeys and a strange method to reset stuff like with some other identification.

    It’s just cool to see Lemmy in any search result. It kind of reinforces that what we are doing here matters. Downside is that if an instance goes down, only a potential archive is there.

      be aware that google results are personalized for you, so that really doesn’t say much about what “average user” sees…

      screenshot is not from google, my bad.

    Google search is complete shite nowadays. We’re just lucky nobody is advertising for those keywords.
