Reading this is nuts. Google changed its algorithm and websites are on the brink of death. This is what gatekeeping is doing.
Hate to see it, as Retro Dodo is one of my favorite websites. I read their articles almost every day. I got their book and backed/preordered the upcoming two which might never be released now.
If you are into Retrogaming or are interested in modern handhelds, consider bookmarking their website and supporting them.
@ichderfisch@eniko We used to joke about Yahoo vs Google. “There’s no way Yahoo will be able to maintain a curated tree of Internet sites when anybody can just search for stuff on Google,” we said, and at the time we were right.
But given today’s web, now I’m wondering if some sort of curated database of links, perhaps combined with a distributed “curator trust rank” system, is the way to go.
@gregly@ichderfisch I've been having similar thoughts, perhaps friends could share lists of bookmarks and then those sites could be indexed on our own hardware
