I get here by typing a mangled version of "hacker news" into DDG. It's currently not working at all.

  But why?
• dylan604 2y ago
  wait, if you typed that into DDG and it brought you here, then how is it not working? if that's not what you meant, you worded your "DDG is not working at all, so I jumped onto HN to look for a thread about it" comment very strangely

    I think that's how they typically get here, but upon it not working, they were able to unmangle the URL

      No need to unwind the pedants.

        Nobody was being pedantic. I don't use the web that way. I never type into a search engine the domain of a site I want to go to, so that's just totally odd to me. I'm of an age where we actually know what a domain is, and do not use the web like it is AOL keywords. Especially when >90% of the time, you just tack on a .com to your keywords to find the actual website.

          > I never type into a search engine the domain of a site I want to go to I think the plurality, if not majority, of people use a browser configured such that the URL bar is automatically a search engine if it doesn't recognize the URL.
