   What's the deal with #Mastodon's SEO? I don't think I've ever seen a Mastodon profile or post in search results unless I go to like, page 3. Meanwhile I'm wading through all sorts of nonsense from Twitter/LinkedIn/etc.

     @jonah That's on purpose - many people and servers have privacy settings to prevent everything from AI scraping to harassment/doxxing. It's more security by obscurity, but it also is one of the few benefits of Mastodon - if we didn't have it, we'd have even MORE driveby trolling, doxxing, etc than we do as it is

     @mybarkingdogs @jonah but the privacy settings are an option...I'd say there's a good amount that have search indexing turned on as well...yet the issue exists for them as well.
