Some instances on the Fediverse offer full-text search of statuses (not just self-authored ones), and I'm wondering how to deal with that. I'm tempted to block every instance doing so, because the current expectation of our users is that their statuses will not be full-text searchable by strangers.
Opinions? What should we do with instances offering full-text search for all statuses? #mastoadmin

@rixx Do whats right for you guys, but you know this is a feature that is built-in to mastodon (though can be toggled on and off)... Its also the default on non-mastodon servers. So you will have to block the majority of the fediverse.
Moreover, how will you even compile a list of servers that do this. Most dont announce it since its such a standard feature.
