@apps@toot.fedilab.app So this dead horse flinched again "With #HolosDiscover we checked multiple criteria before indexing: "indexable" enabled, account not locked, no #nobot or #noindex in bio, not in opted-out list, only public posts." I'll copy-pasta with only slight edits: My entire point (all the noise notwithstanding) focused on Default opt-in versus default opt-out This is an agent --> recipient transaction Default opt-in: the recipient is opted into (and receives) the agent's action whether the recipient --> knows of knows of THE RECIPIENT DOES NOT KNOW OF THE AGENT <-- in advance There was no mechanism for prior notification *before* indexing People would have had to stumble on what you're doing, by how, exactly? How dose the recipient learn of what you've done *before* you do it?
