When I tried it in the past, I kinda didn't take it seriously because everything was confined to its instance, but now, there's full-featured global search and proper federation everywhere? Wow, I thought I heard there were some technical obstacles making it very unlikely, but now it's just there and works great! I asked ChatGPT and it says this feature was added 5 years ago! Really? I'm not sure how I didn't notice this sooner. Was it really there for so long? With flairs showing original instance where video comes from and everything?

Why would anyone ask where they got the info if it is accurate?

The point Is that it might not be accurate. It’s like saying, “a friend told me…”

It lets the reader know that the information being shared was presented as truthful, but wasn’t verified by the commenter themselves.
