@darius yeah, I was just looking at the code and it seems like noindex is only set if it the original poster has opted not, it ignores whether any replies have.

So the "opt-out of search engine indexing" does not in fact opt you out of search engine indexing. Sad.

@jdp23 Well, it is correct in the description text: it affects your public profile and post pages. It does not affect your content as mirrored on other servers. Even if Mastodon somehow respected that, you can't guarantee that for when you are replying to a Pleroma post, etc

@jdp23 @darius @rose
In addition to showing up under the original toot, each reply toot still creates distinct page though, and those should be index-resistant still right? And your profile page. So at least there won't be a google result list-item of your reply toot, it's just that when someone clicks on a google result to get to the OP's toot, your toot will be visible, and your toot's content may still influence the rank/discoverability of the OP's toot. Am I getting this right?
