         authorized_fetch_hint: Requiring authentication from federated servers enables stricter enforcement of both user-level and server-level blocks. However, this comes at the cost of a performance penalty, reduces the reach of your replies, and may introduce compatibility issues with some federated services. In addition, this will not prevent dedicated actors from fetching your public posts and accounts.
