I wish the "classic web" had that! I'm totally fine with crawling my website for discovery purposes (like for webrings, directories, …), but I don't want anyone to index my writing without explicit consent on a case by case basis. LLMs completely destroyed trusts against bots. :(

but regardless, centralized search engines are a different point. even just federating to followers, and independently loading posts (eg entering a post URL into your instance's search bar), are generally opt-out, not consent based

"ActivityPub federation itself is largely opt-out" Yes, but federation only what you can see and limited by follower structures. If you scrape that for some centralized search and require a hashtag in profiles for opt out, that something completely different!

I mean it's interesting to discuss the explicit or implicit aspects of consent built into both protocols and software. that wasn't a shut down, I meant to divert the discussion

[snarfed] I also think there's a mismatch between a loud minority on Mastodon sites and what ActivityPub actually supports

but the mismatch between the broad culture of the fediverse and its expectation that everything there is opt-in and consent-based, vs the reality that ActivityPub federation itself is largely opt-out and _not_ consent based, is a very real, open problem

valerieflynn: WordPress is a huge and old PHP software. That means it's quite a maintenance burden compared to other option.

If you decide to do code, Makko might be a nice option: https://makko.starlightnet.work/ It has a very strong policy against slop and has a quite nice tutorial. But it would be coding.

When you opt for something with static files (like Makko), you could provide a file server for them where they get a sublevel domain automatically.

[snarfed]: Consent is a social construct. It's respecting someone's decision despite no one forcing you to respect it.
