[tantek] What is Blaugust?
# 01:15 
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "Blaugust" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "Blaugust is ____", a sentence describing the term)
# 01:16 
[tantek] Anyone else see [benatwork]'s post (in #indieweb-stream) or heard of or participating in Blaugust and want to stub a page on it?
# 01:16 
[tantek] Seems worth it since we already have one IndieWeb community example and it's quite on topic!

livebay Hello, I want to know if there is any web directory, or catalog, index site that uses nofollow?
# 04:59 
catgirlin.space i haven't seen nofollow used on anything like that
# 05:00 
livebay yepp that's why I'd like to ask if there is, who knows

[jeremycherfas] I am doing Blaugust for the first time and will see if I can work up a stub later today.

livebay I'm making my own directory, try to share personal sites without (or to say avoid) being crawled by ai bots and stuff,
# 05:05 
livebay and some do like this idea and share their site with me while they don't want to appear in search engines, so I think maybe there would be others having the similar thought
# 05:07 
catgirlin.space search engines can still choose to crawl nofollow links, i believe google does this.
# 05:08 
catgirlin.space sites that don't want to appear in search should just use a noindex tag
# 05:08 
catgirlin.space [edit] https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/block-indexing
# 05:08 
Loqi catgirlin.space: it looks like this conversation is getting pretty technical (developers.google.com), can you take it to #indieweb-dev?
# 05:09 
livebay not just nofollow, just that maybe it is the lowest acceptable ..tag used
# 05:10 
catgirlin.space wdym?
# 05:14 
livebay I mean I use noindex and other tags as well for my own site, but if I want my site added to another directory, I hope there is at least a nofollow tag
# 05:15 
catgirlin.space it won't stop the linked site from being crawled though tmk, just doesn't contribute to it's search rankings.
# 05:24 
livebay the description looks vague to me in the doc, I'm not sure

livebay "Use the nofollow value when other values don't apply, and you'd rather Google not associate your site with, or crawl the linked page from, your site"
