[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. https://oliphant.social/@oliphant/110373855153327649]
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...
#fediblock universeodon.com for fulltext indexing incoming posts.
@Ash Hey, could you please just FUCK THE FUCK OFF?
If another site is letting Google kndex random servers' posts through them, that a) has very little to do with this and b) is a misconfiguration on their part, and THEY'RE not respecting people EITHER.
@Ash ...unless this /wasn't/ actually meant as a "haha you can't do anything anyway!", but considering all the other people we've been having to deal with all of a sudden, I'm not particularly hopeful.
