@9fd7b7b6 We've done nothing to prevent that from working. Equally, we've done nothing that would allow that to work. So, I guess we allow it? If it works already? 

 @dab41b40 OK, I'll check to see if we can figure out what was going on. It sounds like it might have been something with Elasticsearch. 

 @dab41b40 Still doing it? I ran through a couple searches and it seems to be working for me. Does it do it all the time or is it intermittent? 

 @053f521c Absolutely. My mother had Alzheimer's, and long after she lost the capability of using a computer she could still video call and send messages using a Google Assistant screen. She could even get slideshows of the the latest pictures of her grandkids. That kind of thing shouldn't be locked behind a paywall of used to advertise.

 @053f521c I've been coughing at @b6088f23 for years now, but so far they've successfully managed to ignore me. Now that Mycroft has dropped out of the market, it's virtually impossible to get a smart speaker that isn't spying on your every move. NeonAI still sells the #Mark2 from Mycroft, but they're super expensive with such low market penetration. Would be amazing to see someone really put some juice behind it. 

 @1ce4e61d Well, we keep #Fosstodon as close to vanilla as possible to avoid issues with upgrades and maintenance, so the HOW things show up is identical to vanilla. What we see from an Admin perspective is 3 categories. We see hashtags, posts, and links. These are all things that are just getting traction in the Fed. Our moderation team can "overrule" a hashtag, link, or post if we find the content inappropriate, so a bot can't take advantage and spam the Explore section. 1/
