re: re: fediblock, unconsenting content aggregator
We already have search engines scraping instances. Mastodon by default includes a robots.txt that indicates that that's allowed. I'm somewhat surprised that this is not a bigger deal given the thread above (and that very few people use a different robots.txt on their mastodon instance).

1. Don't use ActivityPub, use a old school forum, make it invite only and invite those you want.
2. Don't federate. Disable it entirely.
3. Have your own allow-list of servers you will federate with. Don't block-list that's a cat and mouse game.
