Yes, it would make lemmy as unsearchable as discord. Instead of unsearchable as pinterest.

    That's not true, search indexer bots should be allowed through from what I read here.

    If you allow my searchxng search scraper then an AI scraper is indistinguishable.

    If you mean, "google and duckduckgo are whitelisted" then lemmy will only be searchable there, those specific whitelisted hosts. And google search index is also an AI scraper bot.
