(also interesting that I was able to actually write :hearts: etc *without* them being converted to the corresponding emoji. The way Mastodon treats its input continues to evade me. And TBH I don't like it. Seriously, is this documented somewhere? #askFedi #mastoHelp #mastodonInternals)

I'm having a hard time finding if an instance stores or just caches a copy of a remote actor's public key? I'm wondering because of some potential corner cases like what would happen if a failed mastodon instance was recreated with the same users but different generated private keys.
