AIUI making the fediverse searchable is an explicit non-goal in the community, and every previous attempt to do so has been met by blocks and defederation.

Hi @ordnung
Are you aware that posts are being scraped and reblogged by community.nodebb.org?
The #nodebb software is reposting content, including unlisted posts and effectively making the fediverse searchable.
This looks like a #Fediblock to me.
I must admit I'm a bit upset about everything being backfilled in and being uncategorised.
Especially since in Mastodon I explicitly selected to not be searchable on search engines.
It feels a little bit like the time Maven ingested everything.
Just because this time it's a forum over ActivityPub doesn't make me feel happy about it.
