#HolosDiscover is back, from a clean slate.
A #Fediverse search engine that uses standard #ActivityPub federation. It follows you like any account, respects indexable flags, #nobot, #noindex, locked accounts. Deletions, edits, blocks are processed instantly through ActivityPub.
You have full control. Block it, mention it with "unfollow", or disable indexing in your settings.
Source code under AGPL-3.0 on #Codeberg.

@apps @[email protected] This is still not “opt in” by any meaningful definition. It’s still actually opt-out. The change y’all have made is, in terms of why we demanded you stop, functionally meaningless.
It also appears not to be processing changes people make to their own settings to turn off indexing. Having indexing allowed isn’t actually equivalent to opting in but it appears this isn’t even really doing that if indexing was turned on at the time your bot followed us.
There would be value in having a true opt-in indexer on the Fediverse. Why not build that instead of calling yours opt-in when it’s actually opt-out?
