@onepict It is forum software, but is scraping posts from the fediverse (incl. Mastodon and PeerTube) and reposting that on the public web for search engines to discover.

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.
