(💜 Marielle) Dear fellow admins, if your instance supports turning Authorized Fetch on or off, and you do not have Authorized Fetch disabled, please consider (re-)enabling it. AuthFetch prevents instances that you have defederated from seeing and interacting with your instance's posts, which is crucial to prevent your users or yourself from being doxxed.

If nobody believes me, I happened to see someone's post getting unwanted interaction from instances her instance defederated. I will not go into any detail because it was when she was dealing with a tough time, and I do not want to out her for it. I informed her privately, and she took care of it on her end, but yes, not having Authorized Fetch enabled can lead to incidents like this.
