You know who's already indexing Mastodon posts?

Google.

You know who I wouldn't like to see gain a foothold into the Fediverse?

Google.

@atomicpoet

So how do we stop them doing that when I assume it would require all instances to do this. ?

@zleap Some people want to be indexed. So you can't exactly stop it from happening.

We might want to build better search services that are specifically opt-in and honours consent.
