   @tokyo_0 Seems to be specific to GNUSocial?

     @tokyo_0 any time you accept followers on GNUsocial that's a possibility due to how GNUsocial is designed.

     @trumpet Apparently so. When I search for my handle that's the only Fediverse instance that shows results.

     @trumpet (That it only shows a couple of results is even stranger, to be honest, but nonetheless it does show those results)

     @tokyo_0 When I search for your username (text only, 'tokyo_0'), it comes up with both your user and a number of mentions from various other instances!

     @trumpet In Google? I was searching before for "tokyo_0@mas.to". The mentions are either people's posts. Those will be indexed or not indexed according to their settings, so there's nothing I can do about that. Looking again today I can see a couple of Misskey instances that have done the same as GNUSocial—that's something I hadn't seen before, and I don't think it means the GNUSocial issue isn't a problem, I think it means all these search results are a problem. 🤔

     @trumpet It may be a problem that's too big for mas.to to solve, but it's still a problem. What's the point of having settings to stop posts from being search indexed on the open web if a big chunk of #fediverse instances don't respect that? My understanding is that well-managed instances are supposed to choose not to federate with instances that do that. Mas.to is well-managed, and I think this issue is bigger than one instance. There needs to be a conversation about it.

     @tokyo_0 Oh, I was searching on mas.to, not Google. Senior moment!

     @tokyo_0 I wonder if authorized fetch might help with that…

     @trumpet That happens here, too 😅 Yeah, it was Google I was looking at. You were right, though — there are other (non-Mastodon) instances besides GNUSocial that seem to be doing the same thing.

     @trumpet The instances would still be authorized, no? Afaik they're not marked as bad actors right now (and from their point of view they're working as intended, too). I don't think what's being done is malicious, either. It's just a problem with how the Fediverse works right now.
