@johnmu Most people don't understand how to limit search engine indexing. But it's already possible to limit from the Mastodon settings (Preferences, Other, Opt-out of search engine indexing).

"Affects your public profile and post pages"

Sadly people don't adjust the default settings and blame search engines (instead of the default settings of Mastodon software). By default every post on Mastodon is publicly indexable.
