Taylor LorenzFeatures Mastodon desperately needs imo:
- MUCH better search functionality
- Easier way to find and add people across servers
- Quote posting!
- Link previews
Jeff Jarvis@taylorlorenz As I'm learning, Taylor, there are specific objections to some of these. Some believe that search enables bad guys to find their targets for harassment too easily.
Some--including Eugen--argue that QTs are performative rather than conversational and lead to bad behavior. On the other hand, there is strong argument that QTs are central to call-and-response in Black Twitter and a necessary affordance. I can send you thread links.
As for me, I'm of various minds...

TheJenAlso, most of these features demand server space which costs MONEY.

Courtney Rosenthal@jeffjarvis @JenWojcik @taylorlorenz The usual rule of thumb is to click the "about" link in the footer on your instance. That's where the host typically will post how to support.
