What this means is that Duck Duck Go, alongside basically every search engine that is not google, has completely delisted Neocities.

Which feels like something a lot of y'all should know!

Update: DuckDuckGo at least has fixed this issue, likely thanks to some folks making a good kind of ruckus! Still, I hope this has informed people how much of a pain Bing can be with this kind of thing in general.

DuckDuckGo account on Bluesky: We just deployed an update for this issue. Neocities results should now be appearing again when searching for "neocities" or for sites with neocities.org in the URL. (Let us know if you see otherwise) Sites hosted on Neocities that don't include neocities.org in the URL shouldn't have been affected.
