I KNEW
anyway, here's Mastodon getting paid to make their search pluggable so that small instances can search on bigger instances https://www.fediscovery.org/

replies to the announcement post https://mastodon.social/@MastodonEngineering/113125057908864709 don't get how Fedi works and didn't read the whole page but want to fight about it anyway
Fedi has always leaked like a sieve. everyone already has your public posts, including Meta. it was built for this.
sorry if you're learning this today but god damn. how many times are we collectively going to have to explain that in general, you can't control what happens on other people's computers

you can have an account on mastodon.social and use their search today!
you can check out the repo for a Fedi instance server, cut out any search restrictions if it even had any to start with, spin it up, and connect to a big relay today!
you can use the FediBuzz firehose API today! it doesn't even require authentication!
i'm sure if you need commercial near-real-time access to most of Fedi with an SLA, someone's selling that, and they're incorporated somewhere that doesn't give a fuck about GDPR or CCPA

we can produce networks that work differently with existing Fedi software, but it'll still be enforced more by social contracts than by tech, and it won't look like Fedi, it'll look like this: https://writer.oliphant.social/oliphant/the-archipelago-an-island-network-in-practice

@vyr Oh that's interesting, think I had read about this awhile back but forgot!
I recently setup a Mastodon server as an experiment in allow list mode and was happy with the results. Mastodon documentation makes it sound like you're committing sins by doing so.
