Discussion is anyone else fucking annoyed at how many search results come up before this site when you search "sanctioned suicide"

[slushy2]

they keep adding more and more google results before the actual link to the site. i think there's like 4 things now you have to scroll past. i especially hate those corny pre generated text messages they suggest you send to a "loved one." i dont have anyone to talk to like that, thats why im googling this dumbass. they make me sad when i see them because i remember how alone i really am and am going to be

That's mainstream internet for you. God forbid it ever just give you what you searched for. And if it's suicide-related, here's a phone number you've seen hundreds of times before that won't help whatsoever...

 

[Forveleth]

I use DuckDuckGo. This site was the top result.

 

[R_N]

Let me guess, Google? Google is like that in general when it comes to anything out of pocket. I think they are pushing certain narratives and hide or attempt to hide other stuff.

Just tried duck duck go and this place is top result.

Search engines in general work in a shitty way.
It's hard for me to find what I'm looking for.
I feel like it's getting worse.
The Internet is becoming an increasingly large garbage dump.

Fun fact, I actually founded DuckDuckGo, so you have me to thank for Sasu's ranking. And I know what you're thinking. "But Dolan, you're an idiot, you couldn't have" but I was doing a lot of drugs at the time, and the name actually came from how productive I was while on speed. True story.

The funny thing was, the police that did my IC SN welfare check seemed surprised that I knew these 'helplines' existed. Like- how could you possibly miss them?!!

 

[Superdeterminist]

I believe google intentionally lowered the rank of this site so it would be harder for people to find. Motherfuckers

I really hope that one day there will be a new search engine without all this Orwellian spyware SEO-abusing dead Internet theory crap, that does a better job than Google or Bing so I won't have to use them ever again.

--"Don't hurt yourself! Give us a random call for nothing!"

Google Douche #1:: "See, now we can say we took measures to help and we can keep our money even if they die and we're not liable!"

Google Douche #2:: "A toast to money and having two-faces!!!"

I have the site book marked so I can just click it after type a couple of letters.

 

[pompompurin]

I use duckduckgo and it is the first result

My browser allows me to save all the tabs I have open as "sessions" and I usually keep the websites I frequent open anyway, so if I want to check anything I can just switch to its tab and refresh the page.
Also yeah, you describe google to a T, except for the part where they make their search engine unusable for anything. Hell, for over a year I used yandex (Russian search engine) over google images because it would honestly give better results (both more results and ACTUALLY THE RESULTS I WAS LOOKING FOR). The fucking Russian search engine that's certainly censored by their government gave me better results than what's supposed to be the leading search engine.
And for what it's worth, looking up sanctioned suicide on yandex lead to the mirror site as the first result (not the main URL, admittedly, but still better) with no suicide hotline bullshit.

i dont think so. these same results come up when you search any keywords related to suicide. it's not a targeted attack on us it just triggers some automated filter

yeah but i have to clear my browser all the time bc family members use the device

 

[rednights]

It's super aggrivating, it makes me feel ashamed somehow for trying to find any information.

I used the extension uBlock Origin to block the popup google gives you at the top of the page, and that helped.

 

[Orange Cat]

The site comes up as the 2nd or 3rd result on all of the search engines. It's not buried.

Why do you have to search for the site? You already have the address. If you type the address in the search bar it takes you directly here.

The web stopped being truly free a long time ago.

i use a seperate google account itself for this kinda stuff

I think I'd tried finding some duckduckgo answers, can I ask you or is there a place you'd recommend asking?

That damned phone number. It used to just be a little annoyance and now it makes me angry.

 

[Apathy79]

2nd result for me on both Google (behind Lifeline) and Duckduckgo (behind the wiki entry)

 

[Edpal247]

Yes. But admittedly - how would someone know to search for it by name? I don't recall how I stumbled upon it.
