   oh lordie, instance admins are discovering that other instances can implement full-text search *anyway*

   this is going to be hilarious

     for the millionth time, messages that are copied to other instances (so-called "federation") have their own copies of those messages, and most importantly, can do whatever they want with them.

     this means they can do:

     - full-text search

     - rewriting your posts to say "HERP DERP"

     - replacing your video/audio links with fart sounds

     - replacing your images with make ________ great again memes

     if you do not understand this, the federated web (Mastodon, et al) is not for you.
