People complaining about #search in the #fediverse and I'm LOLing here that Google indexes my posts in #mastodon replies to me from other people, even though I have `noindex`on my instance.

So maybe instead of shouting down people who do it with good intention, you should shout at the Mastodon Devs and instance owners who allow content to be indexed by the world's largest search engine 🤷‍♂️

Wow, where's the failure there?

Are the instance owners not setting something right, or is Google ignoring correctly set flags not to index?

@volkris It's left to individual users to set it, it's under "Other" in your Mastodon settings.

@tanepiper

Right, I know about the setting, but I'm wondering why the content was indexed despite the setting.
