#noarchive
These are public posts tagged with #noarchive. You can interact with them if you have an account anywhere in the fediverse.

The chat about "grabbing comments" at the start is quite interesting. I don't know if you know already, but it is common for people who don't want their comments archived to have #noarchive (or #noindex, or #norobots) in their bio. Nothing is a surefire protection, since what they want is not very coherent (they kind of want you to read their mind) - but accounting for that tag at least gives people an opt-out.
What do the "#NoArchive #NoIndex #NoSearch #NoBridge" hashtags do?
These are all special hashtags intended to control the behavior of certain 3rd party tools that integrate with fedi.
- NoArchive requests that the profile and posts should not be included by fedi archive services.
- NoIndex and NoSearch request that the profile and posts should not be indexed by any cross-fedi full-text search applications.
- NoBridge requests that the profile and posts be excluded from any cross-network bridges, like bots that mirror posts between Fedi and BlueSky.
These all come with a caveat, which is that only good-faith actors will respect them. You are welcome and encouraged to include them on your own profile, if desired, but be aware that some shady services will just ignore the hashtags.

@Cal@kind.socialHere, have some #hashtags to make me more searchable:
#ContentWarnings #ToneIndicators #Furry #Trans #NonBinary #Enby #ScienceWitch #WestYorkshire #NeuroSpicy #ChronicPain #MemoryLoss #BotAlly #YesBot #NoArchive #AutoDelete (6 mo.)
So ... does putting things like #nobot and/or #noarchive in your bio actually do anything?
I mean, besides alerting amoral data-scrapers that your personal data is extra valuable?

# FEP-c118: Content licensing support
## SummaryCurrently, popular Fediverse software does very little to establish the legal status of posts. Controversy over indexing and scraping the Fediverse is common. The hope is that providing a legal framework to express the desires of users as to how their content may be re-used might bring order to this debate.
https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/feps/fep-c118.md4. If you don't want your posts being easily accessible on the instances you federate with, why not make the posts followers only in the first place? I'd love to know the history behind folks thinking that public posting and a #noindex or #noarchive hashtag was ever sufficient on the #Fediverse.
Folks with the institutional memory of these things, please step up and tell the history. Every admin has the right to defederate from whoever they want, but to do so on the basis of a #Mastoverse -centric denialism & rewriting of the history of search & indexing on the Fediverse should be called out.
Respecting a federated post's no-index settings or even account level settings would be really cool but is currently impossible across the #Fediverse.
Oh and wait until I tell you about how #ContentWarnings aren't reliably reproducible across the fediverse either. Another day..

@LibreNyaa@social.linux.pizza@atomicpoet Just searched a post I made yesterday on there and it showed up.
I have all of the available options for opting out of indexes on my accounts (#noindex, #nobot, #noarchive 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, basically telling people to make their posts private.
Does it respect any hashtag in a bio like #nobot / #noindex / #noarchive ?
