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...

@taylorlorenz @shengokai has been forceful and brilliant on the need for QTs particularly. I've heard similar views from other experts in Black Twitter.
Here is a github proposal for a QT structure: @shengokai
