@BeAware@social.beaware.live @jasdemi@jasdemi.com @hallenbeck@mastodon.social I thought about this exact thing when I woke up today and I think that these kinds of services should act like a search engine in the way that they only index posts from people who have kept the "allow posts to be indexed by search engines" toggle on.

That first of all is an opt-out system, second of all lets the user have control over it and third of all isn't hypocritical.

I think those who complain about it should be reminded of the reality that they are posting on a decentralised social media platform. Social media means that what you say will be public unless set otherwise and decentralised means there isn't one singular source which can control access.
