arromatic··on Musk's $44B Twitter now valued at just $9.4B as X
My bet is on bail-out or resell to msft . Google is possible which would be nice assuming same treatment as yt but meta is unlikely since they have threads .

It's most likely the their personalized timeline was filled with crypto and politcs .

I agree on mastodon . Twitter is for finding new people . Mastodon is for following people you know .

Apologies for too many questions but resources on search engines are scarce . How do I visualize the link graphs or process them ? is there any tool preferably foss . Majestic seem to have one but it's their own .

Yeah, on my machine .

Thanks . What you answered at 1. is what I meant. I was looking for a small web dataset but cc is too big for me process .

1. Do you know any dataset of rss feeds that are not 100s of gbs ?

2. How does your crawler handle malicious site when crawling ?

That 13b bank loan alone could build another twitter with more revenue .

I do overestimate user count But sharing links was a big thing in twitter . And for cluster for someone who has zero traffic , ten or a hundred traffic makes a huge difference . I do intend to leave twitter but as my previous comment indicated there aren't any .

Twitter was doing okay (maybe not) before pre-musk without being another facebook .

New owner is actually the best option in my opinion too , but I don't think anyone is willing to buy it for 44b .

If you are a hobbyist writing blogs for fun and not spending hours doing seo for google old twitter was the only way your post / site could be delivered to your intended audience . You wrote a post about the latest python update ? Twitter will deliver it to python liking cluster . Something no other social media does nor do search engines like google where only limited sites are shown .

1. Is the index public ? 2. Any chance for a rss feed search ?

Exciting assuming the future apps or users are too excited to choose alternative ? I don't really think there are any proper alternative on the market even after a year for users to move . Bluesky ? no algo , Threads ? no politics and meta , t2/pebble ? bankrupt .

1. Is creating a proper twitter alternative that difficult ? What is google , msft and maybe companies in entire eu (and us) doing ? 2. Is there a chance twitter will be sold ? or a get a government bail out . Twitter's reach is too valuable to let it go bankrupt/ crash .
arromatic··on X capitulates to Brazil's Supreme Court
Is there going to be a "for you" feed like twitter that algorithmically finds post you are interested based on what you search or browse ?
arromatic··on Ask HN: What is the most productive stack or lang for single devs ?
What are some other platforms excluding power apps ? And is there any foss alternative ?
arromatic··on Ask HN: What is the most productive stack or lang for single devs ?
Haven't picked any specific one for full time learning. Thats why i am asking.
arromatic··on Ask HN: What is the most productive stack or lang for single devs ?
It's not about picking the wrong one . What i am trying to know is which one can be most productive in short : doing most in less.
arromatic··on Ask HN: Have your search results gotten worse recently?
It has gotten really terrible , some examples :

1. Site diversity is non existant . Nearly every term results same handful sites. Proof [0]

2. Actual blogs are not shown in serps . I have to use blogger and wordpress in search term to find blogs but it exculdes all the blogs that are not blogger or wordpress .

3. Way too much focus on reddit compared to all other forums. Its like both people and google both forgot forums other than reddit exist.

4. Too many non related articles .

5. Got too many seo optimized junk ? Just go to page ten or twenty . Turns out google now capped search results to a few hundred . And bing ? The pages become irrelevant at the later pages.

Workarounds I use :

1. Adding hackernews does improve my serp that are related to to tech .

2. limiting my search results to a old date/month improves the serp .

3. Marginalia [1] and kagi occasionally helps .

4. Sometimes I use absurdly long keywords .

5. Sometimes i use a search engine from here [2] to see if it gives better results or not which usually turn out to be not .

6. Yandex sometimes work but not always .

In short : The current search quality is terrible and finding smallweb ,forums and blogs are even more difficult .

Something well established like Wikipedia but for search results sounds awesome but you will need a army of curator and editor and moderator.
