I never asked for quote posts, or full text search.
Hopefully these things are opt-in at a user level, preferably at instance level.
Will the ability to be searched/quoted only apply to those on the latest version, or will users be able to quote people on slightly older Masto versions.
I know that it was possible previously to implement ElasticSearch, which had a tendency to bring all but the beefier servers to their knees - will this overwhelm smaller servers?

User level! I need to be able to refuse opting in to things that my host deems great, but I don’t!

@babumenos @Mastodon What I was sugggesting was that Instance admin could switch it off globally, or if it was on, individual users could switch it off.
That seems the best way to do it.

I see! (It’s only fair to say, then, that those who would *want* quote toots but were on an instance that disabled them server-wide, had to move to another server.)
