     @lispi314 @winter Message Rewrite Facility, it allows to write a bunch of modules to arbitrarily filter/rewrite messages.

     A concept that IRC/Email/… servers pretty much all have and need in practice.

     @lispi314 @winter They're sadly quite specific to Pleroma (and derived) but at the same time writing modules is pretty easy, in fact quite a lot of MRFs shipped in Pleroma were contributed by admins and several maintain their own for some server-specific behavior.
     
     And I'm not aware of another fedi implementation having similar capabilities so the need to get something fairly agnostic like you have with email (but not on IRC) hasn't really appeared.

     @lanodan @winter Yeah, filtering module chains are nicely flexible.

     How separated from the implementation are they in practice? Email seems to mostly use pipes/subprocesses for such things.
