Subject: Change robots.txt to exclude only media proxy URLs (#10038)
X-Git-Url: https://git.xn--scling-oua.cat.family/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a5992e58832fdc0199f70ed2fa791a619fcad258;p=mastodon.git

Change robots.txt to exclude only media proxy URLs (#10038)

* Revert "Change robots.txt to exclude some URLs (#10037)"

This reverts commit 80161f43510ad9316c60c9b50dd5c09c2dae4d54.

* Let's block media_proxy

/media_proxy/ is a dynamic route used for requesting uncached media, so it's
probably bad to let crawlers use it

* misleading comment
