<p>An important update for <a href="/tags/feditree/" rel="tag">#FediTree</a> just dropped:</p><p>- New command: Reply with <a href="/tags/delete/" rel="tag">#delete</a> to delete the generated tree.<br>- New command: Write "🎄" in your mention to force the bot to re-generate your tree for this year (otherwise it will ignore any mentions after the first).<br>- Usernames are now included in the alt text, to keep the post clean.<br>- Accounts with discoverability set to off will no longer appear in the FediTree.<br>- The bot will tell how many accounts didn't end up in your tree due to <a href="/tags/nobot/" rel="tag">#nobot</a> tag or discoverability setting.<br>- The bot will try to use the remote server API first, and warn that the result may be inaccurate if it couldn't.</p>
nobot
<p>I searched on a <a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#mastodon</a> forum for answers to my question " <a href="/tags/nobot/" rel="tag">#NoBot</a> no longer works, what current hashtag prevents s bots from following accounts?" and do not yet have an answer. </p><p>Thus I ask the <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a>: what can users do with their profiles to repel bot-follows?</p>
<p>RE: <a href="https://mstdn.social/@stux/116289935006488815" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="mstdn.social/@stux/116289935006488815"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">mstdn.social/@stux/11628993500</span><span class="invisible">6488815</span></a></p><p>This is an interesting issue that we need to address. If a fediverse client implements AI summarization and wholescale sends an entire timeline to an AI, who takes responsibility for that? This is not the first project to do this. The AI certainly isn't respecting `no index` or `<a href="/tags/nobot/" rel="tag">#nobot</a>`</p>
<p>With <a href="/tags/holosdiscover/" rel="tag">#HolosDiscover</a> we checked multiple criteria before indexing: "indexable" enabled, account not locked, no <a href="/tags/nobot/" rel="tag">#nobot</a> or <a href="/tags/noindex/" rel="tag">#noindex</a> in bio, not in opted-out list, only public posts. Every deletion, edit or block was processed instantly via <a href="/tags/activitypub/" rel="tag">#ActivityPub</a>.<br>Google uses that same "indexable" flag but ignores everything else, keeps deleted content cached for weeks.<br>We shut it down after pushback. Was that the right call? Don't hesitate to share, this concerns the whole Fediverse.</p>
