Re: Re: Aggregators....back links

Previously, on Gemini:

Leaky filters

I'm grateful for jecxjo's explanations of backlink services. They were completely off my radar.

To my mind the issue is an unfortunate interaction between the implementations of these backlink services and how Antenna tracks users. Antenna doesn't use client certificates for tracking users, so its own "filter IDs" can leak out and confuse these other services. jecxjo presents an example of one single filter that by itself adds so much garbage to the backlink lookup results as to make them unreadable. This is probably best fixed on the backlink lookup service itself.

So I see the problem - ultimately, our tools need to adapt to human nature, because human nature sure isn't going to adapt to our tools.

Rumoured death of Gemini greatly exaggerated

A lot of people complained that "Gemini is dying"

But they claimed it without evidence. The number of sites continues to grow steadily - is there something wrong with the statistics?
