Description: I have my blog set to cross-post to lesswrong.com, and my posts are marked with rel=canonical that points them back to my page:
<link data-react-helmet="true" rel="canonical" href="https://www.jefftk.com/p/uber-self-driving-crash"/>
You can see an example of this at https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/tTg4bn5rxHYqQJXhD/uber-self-driving-crash
Setting rel=canonical tells search engines that the version of my post at jefftk.com should be considered the canonical version and they should link people there instead of to the various mirrors. More: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/139066
Greaterwrong doesn't respect this. Jeff Kaufman?
