   @GossiTheDog But 'Taylor Swif' still works or did last night. 🤨

     @GossiTheDog Why are you spreading misinformation? Especially on something that is so easy to verify. It hasn’t even been an hour since you posted, and I was able to confirm that you can in fact, search for Taylor Swift on google.

     @GossiTheDog this is an interesting example of a problem that fedi avoids (kinda) by not having global search, and by having trivially attributable boosts.

     No search means no search terms to block.

     Boosts that are trivially attributable to specific accounts means that if someone spreads such stuff, they get associated with it — something that does not happen with algo-feeding "likes" on platforms with algorithmic feeds.

     @GossiTheDog
     I'm not sure that's intentional. That message looks more like a "the intern wrote this code because we fired the developers months ago, and nobody knows how to get the QA servers online" error to me.

     @GossiTheDog @rysiek it's not really global search though given that no one server can see the entire network
