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?

People also say they googled, unfortunately

Not the same thing.

google allows for the possibility that the user was able to think critically about sources that a search returned

How dare you, my drunk uncle is completely capable of boiling the oceans! He was even boasting about it at our last family dinner!
