[update: it sounds like the search respects the profile discoverability opt-out, which federates, unlike the "search engine indexing" thing which does not? That's much less bad than we thought. It should still be opt-IN, though, not opt-out. oliphant.social/@oliphant/1103]

so apparently universeodon.com is doing FULL INDEXING on every post they receive, without consent. It sounds like maybe even non-public posts??

"we didn't get people yelling at us, so it must be okay! but now people are? what the fuck?"

I don't usually make fediblock posts, but uh
yeah if you don't want to be indexed without consent...
universeodon.com for fulltext indexing incoming posts.

@IceWolf big fat no to having my posts indexed, i do not consent and the only people who want to search for my posts are fascists who wish me harm.

Follow

@mae YEP, exactly on indexing.

I dunno if it's /completely/ fascists, I think a lot of it is regular people who "just want search!" because that's what they're used to and they can't fathom the idea of not having it, but... yeah. Nnnnno thanks.

@IceWolf they've never experienced a hate brigade on the hellsite for mentioning "jkr," i think they should experience that.
