Is there a guide somewhere to the informal standards folks in the Fediverse use to indicate “don’t index content from my account”, “don’t interact with me if you’re a bot”, etc?
I see:
1. Larger Mastodon instances generally manage their robots.txt carefully
2. Informal profile hashtags, including #nobot, #noindex, and #nofollow. I have not found an exhaustive list or formal description of these.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? What other standards are there?
