@YurkshireLad @Gargron there was some grumbling months ago.
Still, people's labour costs money, I'm happy to be listed as a sponsor, for now.
But I don't want data to be sold into the advertising and marketing industry, even if it manages to be anonymized and GDPR-legal.

@johnefrancis @YurkshireLad We don't sell anything. We do allow web crawlers. You have the option of opting out of search engine indexing in your settings.

@Gargron @YurkshireLad thanks for clarifying.
Are there separate settings to opt out of commercial search engine indexing via web crawling, but opt-in to Mastodon's search indexing? I want the good people of Mastodon/Fediverse to find my content, but would rather not give it to Google etc.
