#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? 🙄

To be clear, the need for #nobot, #noarchive, #noindex, and #nobridge was not born out of some single discrete event. This happened in four separate events. This has been a recurring problem on Fedi at least four times I know of. And I'm sure there's plenty of other bots out there I don't know about that I would have to opt-out of in the same way (if they bothered to let you).

And it should be abundantly clear that there is no respect for GDPR, privacy, boundaries, or anything but a modicum of shame in any of these actions.

Not that it has ever been any different online. Go look up robots.txt. This situation has not ever been any different.

Welcome to the Internet, y'all.

Because of tech bros on Fedi who don't understand consent, I have to have #nobot, #noarchive, #noindex, and #nobridge in my bio. Because yeah.

At least they respect the tags. Usually.

I don't know how to put into words how frustrating this is, but I also know that trying to argue about consent with these people is a gigantic waste of energy.

@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.

@fediversereport

Does it respect any hashtag in a bio like #nobot / #noindex / #noarchive ?

@ericbrookfield

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 💫

@djnavarro I really hope that the #noarchive tag is not going to produce false sense of security.

Everyone should always remember that if something is public on Internet then it is both public and archived. And it's going to be really hard to remove.

The good guys might not archive content, but the bad guys don't care and will do it anyways.

We should probably agree on a tag like #nobot for our bios except it opts out of posts/bio bring archived

maybe #noarchive ?
