<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>
