#nobot #noindex #noarchive #nosearch #nobridge #noai

Why do I live in a world where I have to put this shit in my bio:

#nobot #noindex #noarchive #nosearch #nobridge #noai

in my profile, and pray that the techbro's bullshit bot respects it? Whatever happened to asking people? 🙄

@atomicpoet Just searched a post I made yesterday on there and it showed up.

I have all of the available common flags for opting out of indexes on my accounts (#noindex, #nobot, #noarchive, #nosearch in bio, and account marked to not be indexed in settings)

Seems like it ignores all of them, and the only opt out they offer is a link to the post privacy section of the Mastodon docs.

Public posts are public, and should be expected to be permanent, but still seems condescending.

Privacy Hashtags: as users and interest in the #Fediverse grows, so do various bots, scrapers, and potential new search utilities

Vetting is done by admins via hashtag-Fediblock, but also various posts I have seen suggest using 'opt-out' hashtags in your Bio / profile

#NoBot - no interaction / scraping by bot accounts
#NoArchive - no crawling / archiving
#NoIndex / #NoSearch - do not include posts in search engine results

Of course bad-actors may ignore them (hence Fediblock), but good players should honor them

Hope this helps folks 💫
