So here's a fun emergent feature on Mastodon 4.2:

- you can search your own posts even if you turn off other people searching you (use `in:library` as a term).
- you can post "DM"s that have no recipient, so only you can see them. These are searchable.

So you can use your Mastodon as a searchable private note repository lol.

Of course this means mastodon is now cloud storage if you b64 encode a file in a recipientless DM thread

@jonny @megmac It's like the venerable Gmailfs but for Masto.
