Why do I live in a world where I have to put this shit in my bio:

#nobot #noindex #noarchive #nosearch #nobridge #noai

in my profile, and pray that the techbro's bullshit bot respects it? Whatever happened to asking people? 🙄

Wonder if the #nobot/#noarchive/etc hashtags should be user flags

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.

To be clear, the need for #nobot, #noarchive, #noindex, and #nobridge was not born out of some single discrete event. This happened in four separate events. This has been a recurring problem on Fedi at least four times I know of. And I'm sure there's plenty of other bots out there I don't know about that I would have to opt-out of in the same way (if they bothered to let you).

And it should be abundantly clear that there is no respect for GDPR, privacy, boundaries, or anything but a modicum of shame in any of these actions.

Not that it has ever been any different online. Go look up robots.txt. This situation has not ever been any different.

Welcome to the Internet, y'all.

Because of tech bros on Fedi who don't understand consent, I have to have #nobot, #noarchive, #noindex, and #nobridge in my bio. Because yeah.

At least they respect the tags. Usually.

I don't know how to put into words how frustrating this is, but I also know that trying to argue about consent with these people is a gigantic waste of energy.
