I'm curious about why they delisted it. When running operations for Blekko (another search engine that would back fill with Yahoo/Bing results when we didn't get a lot of hits in our own index). Of course people like DDG could index it themselves like they do Wikipedia and some other sites.

While Blekko was active there really were one three reasons we could be "forced" to de-index a site, it was being used by a 'bad' country (N. Korea, Iran, Etc.), it was serving up CSAM, or was participating in Ad fraud. Now Microsoft also would delist places that were in the crime underworld so they wouldn't index the <random-string>.ru sites and things like that. They should be able to give you an answer though unless they have an NSL that says they can't talk about it.

That makes me wonder if web sites that have "anti government / anti ICE" content will start getting delisted by US web indexes.

Did you reach out to popular Bing-powered search engines like DuckDuckGo directly? Or just Microsoft?

https://www.ecosia.org/ seems to have no issue with neocities (whereas searching neocities in duckduckgo does not show it except in the wikipedia callout).

It's the same problem. Search for "fauux" (one of our more popular web sites) and you'll see other sites talking about one of the more popular sites but you won't see a link to the site itself.
