There's apparently some ambiguity and/or confusion:

Indomitable is the defense against Influence, except against those with an appropriate Empathy. An Indomitable human will be immune to Diplomacy of anyone, including humans. But it will not protect against anyone, spirit, human or automaton, with Empathy.

OTOH, being in a different mental category may require people to either be in the same category or having the right Empathy to influence you. E.g. a river-spirit is normally unaffected by human Influence, unless they have Spirit Empathy, but will be affected just fine by another spirit using Savoir-Faire on it.

Note that spirits don't have Digital Mind. It's just a Feature that they're a different mental category.
