-## FedSockets
-FedSockets is an experimental feature allowing for Pleroma backends to federate using a persistant websocket connection as opposed to making each federation a seperate http connection. This feature is currently off by default. It is configurable throught he following options.
-
-### :fedsockets
-* `enabled`: Enables FedSockets for this instance. `false` by default.
-* `connection_duration`: Time an idle websocket is kept open.
-* `rejection_duration`: Failures to connect via FedSockets will not be retried for this period of time.
-* `fed_socket_fetches` and `fed_socket_rejections`: Settings passed to `cachex` for the fetch registry, and rejection stacks. See `Pleroma.Web.FedSockets` for more details.

-## Frontends
-
 ### :frontend_configurations
 
 This can be used to configure a keyword list that keeps the configuration data for any kind of frontend. By default, settings for `pleroma_fe` and `masto_fe` are configured. You can find the documentation for `pleroma_fe` configuration into [Pleroma-FE configuration and customization for instance administrators](/frontend/CONFIGURATION/#options).

-defmodule Pleroma.Web.FedSockets do
-  @moduledoc """
-  This documents the FedSockets framework. A framework for federating
-  ActivityPub objects between servers via persistant WebSocket connections.
-
-  FedSockets allow servers to authenticate on first contact and maintain that
-  connection, eliminating the need to authenticate every time data needs to be shared.
-
-  ## Protocol
-  FedSockets currently support 2 types of data transfer:
-    * `publish` method which doesn't require a response
-    * `fetch` method requires a response be sent
-
-    ### Publish
-    The publish operation sends a json encoded map of the shape:
-      %{action: :publish, data: json}
-    and accepts (but does not require) a reply of form:
-      %{"action" => "publish_reply"}
-
-    The outgoing params represent
-      * data: ActivityPub object encoded into json
-
-
-    ### Fetch
-    The fetch operation sends a json encoded map of the shape:
-      %{action: :fetch, data: id, uuid: fetch_uuid}
-    and requires a reply of form:
-      %{"action" => "fetch_reply", "uuid" => uuid, "data" => data}
-
-    The outgoing params represent
-      * id: an ActivityPub object URI
-      * uuid: a unique uuid generated by the sender
-
-    The reply params represent
-      * data: an ActivityPub object encoded into json
-      * uuid: the uuid sent along with the fetch request
-
-  ## Examples
-  Clients of FedSocket transfers shouldn't need to use any of the functions outside of this module.
-
-  A typical publish operation can be performed through the following code, and a fetch operation in a similar manner.
-
-    case FedSockets.get_or_create_fed_socket(inbox) do
-      {:ok, fedsocket} ->
-        FedSockets.publish(fedsocket, json)
-
-      _ ->
-        alternative_publish(inbox, actor, json, params)
-    end
-
-  ## Configuration
-  FedSockets have the following config settings
-
-  config :pleroma, :fed_sockets,
-  enabled: true,
-  ping_interval: :timer.seconds(15),
-  connection_duration: :timer.hours(1),
-  rejection_duration: :timer.hours(1),
-  fed_socket_fetches: [
-    default: 12_000,
-    interval: 3_000,
-    lazy: false
-  ]
-    * enabled - turn FedSockets on or off with this flag. Can be toggled at runtime.
-    * connection_duration - How long a FedSocket can sit idle before it's culled.
-    * rejection_duration - After failing to make a FedSocket connection a host will be excluded
-    from further connections for this amount of time
-    * fed_socket_fetches - Use these parameters to pass options to the Cachex queue backing the FetchRegistry
-    * fed_socket_rejections - Use these parameters to pass options to the Cachex queue backing the FedRegistry
-
-    Cachex options are
-      * default: the minimum amount of time a fetch can wait before it times out.
-      * interval: the interval between checks for timed out entries. This plus the default represent the maximum time allowed
-      * lazy: leave at false for consistant and fast lookups, set to true for stricter timeout enforcement
