   They've changed the wording around it since I set it. I'm pretty sure it used to just say about allowing your content (in general) to be indexed, and in practice on your own Mastodon instance I believe that is what it does. None of my posts show up from my own instance in engines like Google.

   But they do on other instances.

     @fbievan And while perhaps they didn't very specifically say that wouldn't happen, I'm just so sick of this "yeah, yeah it's a great platform in all these ways (except from these very evident design flaws we don't tell you about and carefully word around to never explicitly mention, and don't fix, and never talk about)" nonsense. There are so many things that are not as they should be. Even the "block domain" option on the standard Mastodon web interface doesn't actually block the domain.
