We heard you. #HolosDiscover has been shut down, all indexed data deleted, and the source code removed. We apologize for the misunderstanding. Our approach was built with the deepest respect for user consent, but we understand it could rightfully be seen as misusing the indexable flag that many users didn't consciously enable. This highlighted a real conversation the Fediverse needs about default settings. Thank you for the feedback.

@apps that's unfortunate; it seemed like a cool concept. Mastodon probably should just implement a clear flag or something yeah

It's saddening that users (well, *one* user if I counted correctly) are ok with Google and OpenAI harvesting their stuff but not a thoughtfully and respectfully designed project. -

We actually received links to heated discussions about the project beyond what was visible here. It was taking a dimension we didn't anticipate. We preferred to shut it down rather than let it escalate further. -

@apps thank you for trying! As a community I feel we're going to have to figure this out eventually
I hope you manage to find an alternative acceptable way to solve the problem somehow. -

I'm sorry, that must be so frustrating for you. Take another donation as motivation for your other projects. -
