why do neither fedidb.com or fediverse.observer have any results for noblogs.org? there is many that have been widely followed on the fediverse for a long time now. See @anne@noblogs.org or @anarchistfront@noblogs.org as examples.

They are run by Autistici/Inventati which have been declared a terrorist organization by Trump, so their .org domains have been nuked (and more).

noblogs.org is still reachable, for now

Apparently the most democratic democracy on Earth has declared them as well as terrorists

Sites on noblogs.org are made on WordPress and they function like independent instances. They apparently do not expose their Nodeinfo, though.

Fascists running a site has been targeting leftist sites to drive the state to take them down, noblogs was labeled as terrorists because of this

where are you getting this information from? first one I checked has nodeinfo up https://annalist.noblogs.org/.well-known/nodeinfo

I know all about the Terrorist designation by the US, but this doesn't answer the question of why they are not on fedidb.

Hmm, this is strange. Nodeinfo indeed exists, but FediDB's NodeInfo Explorer fails to fetch it. Nodeinfo is not excluded by robots.txt either: has Noblogs blocked FediDB and Fediverse.observer's crawlers by other means?

I was thinking the other way around. I'm pretty sure that NoBlogs used to show up on fedidb

Nevermind, Noblogs is going down...

Still up now though so still a mystery as to why they are not included. Something strange is still amiss
