Does anyone in the #MastoAdmin world know of any resources that talk about the implementation and implications of putting your instance into AUTHORIZED_FETCH or “secure” mode?Reading the limited official documentation it sounds like instead of your instances posts and content being cached on other instances it forces everything to be fetched direct from your instance? https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/config/#authorized_fetchThat section could really use a rewrite to be more clear.

I currently have it active on Radiant Garden. It does exactly what you say, but it also destroys discoverability. So you'll need to decide if the need to regulate how your content is fetched and stored outweighs visibility.I would suggest turning it on, as some people don't know how to stop scraping.
