It helps protect your server's members from abusive servers by making defederation more effective.

There's lots more info about it in this guide, including instructions on how your server admin can activate it:

(The guide also links to technical details of Authorized Fetch for those who are interested.)

Yeah, Olifant is right 👍

Nowadays it should work fine with almost all servers. I have been using Authorized Fetch for several years now on my own server and have not had any complaints. (When I first switched it on, I'd asked people in advance to let me know if it caused problems and it didn't.)

So you'd cut them out. That's all it means. It's on all the time by default for GoToSocial, so basically anything that also federates with it should federate with you.

Heyo, quick question. We'd like to enable, but we have concern with the "reduces reach" note in the panel, especially as a smaller instance. Do you have anything abt how that might affect us? We don't want to accidentally cut our users out of the social aspect of the fedi.

I imagine that @zeroes is on this, as it seems to be pretty quick with applying safety features @trendless ?
