Honestly, I’d rather it not. Just accelerates the social media platform life cycle. Any other search engine. Google, no thanks.

I don’t see how a site can choose which search engine it appears on

technically most crawlers abide by robots.txt so if you really wanted you could forbid the google crawler but it would be silly too since it’s one of the most popular engines

Interesting, didn’t know that thanks :)

I don’t know. How about the millions of sites that don’t appear in a Google search. Do what they did.

Which would make it so it doesn’t appear in any search, which is also what Reddit is considering doing
Now THAT would be speedrunning the enshittification. Just DRM Lemmy

Lol as if Google isn’t the leader in enshittication.
