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? 🙄

> The NoBot isn't app specific fwiw, it's pretty standard.

"pretty" boils down to de-facto standard, or rather it became a sorta kinda requirement by means of post-facto #interoperability. In other words: Who comes first, and popularizes some custom app-specific extension, becomes owner of that part of the spec that is now considered protocol-native.

#NoBot is app-specific too. Or Microblogging domain-specific perhaps, albeit implicitly then.

When it comes to considering it standard, we talk about accepting #ActivityPub protocol decay. Specifically:

- Considering the way account profiles are handled to be part of the protocol.
- To handle special control words (or just #NoBot) in the profile text.

@CoolerPseudonym @apps https://discover.holos.social/how-it-works says it all

so basically if you have any of these things set, then you're opted out.
So if EITHER
- you have 'indexable' turned off
- have follow approval required on
- have #nobot or #noindex in your bio
then you're opted out from holos

Thanks for the reply! Onboarding servers and users is definitely the key to building network effects. However, I have a few lingering questions regarding usability and abuse prevention that I’d love to hear your thoughts on:

非常感谢你的回复！看到你们正在努力接入更多服务器和用户，这确实是建立网络效应的关键。但我还有几个关于“易用性”和“防滥用”的疑问，希望能听听你的看法：

我很期待看到 tags.pub 给联邦宇宙带来便捷和好处，以及如何解决这些问题。
