    Had this happen today. Was searching for some programming related stuff and top pages are all inaccessible Reddit posts.

      Hopefully it will help people realise that a profit motive being attached to everything is actually counterproductive societally.

      About 4 people at work Monday discovered the blackouts and learned the reason from following Google results. I’d say that shows the effectiveness of the protest. That’s 4 individuals that I work with personally who wouldn’t have known otherwise about the api problem that now do. I can only imagine how many people are in that same boat.

        Sad thing is most search engines suck/haven’t really indexed mostly anything in the fediverse. Wonder why

          The fediverse is really not good for big companies. It cannot be monetized or controlled.

          It’s obvious you know this, but we just need a search engine that’s tuned to search the fediverse.
