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...

drdind@jeffjarvis @taylorlorenz I have not tried it, but DM rooms are terrifically useful for political organizing on Twitter. Can that be done here?
@Drdind @taylorlorenz Organizing is only one function and, yes, DM groups can be useful. But that's not what I was referring to re call-and-response; that is by its nature public.
@jeffjarvis @taylorlorenz Apologies, I was asking a separate question of course.
