   For those instance admins who don't know this:
   
   1. Every one of your users' contacts has a remote profile on your instance.
   
   2. Every one of your users have remote profiles on all of their contacts' instances.
   
   3. If your users do not know this, it is up to you to explain it if/when they discover one of these remote profiles.

     @simsa03 You're probably right. But then they should at least put this info in their site's docs, so that more experienced users can point to them. There should never be a situation where a user files a copyright complaint at an instance's hosting company because they accidentally discovered that their (public) posts also go to other instances. Nor should the instance admin fail to explain it if the user comes to them.
