Worrying is their self centered megalomanic ego trip, not realizing that they are the remaining world power, armed to their teeth with weapons of all kind, and with all the private data of the worlds population.

That said, having in mind that apparently you, being in charge of several #mastodon instances in the #fediVerse, are not able to fix the #robotsTxt of them while wasting time about talking of other countries internal affairs is kinda embarrassing.

#meanWhile ..

.. the #mastodon community wastes it's time trying to pimp up the stars of it's #APP in #googlePlay, the #robotsTxt of it's instances disallows exactly one #AI bot scrapper to not search for all public data available about the #fediVerse. Not only on it's mother ship but on all instances, so the elonGated can create his target lists of "the enemy inside".

.. good job, well done! ..
