@atomicpoet There isn't a proprietary API, but parts of the fediverse community, especially on Mastodon, seems to be very against certain kinds of features. Search, quote tweets, non-chronological feeds -- pretty much anything that isn't the pared-down Twitter clone that Mastodon currently is seems to be off-limits.

That isn't necessarily all bad -- I think it's good that people consider what *should* be done, and not just what *could* be done. However, I feel like a lot of fediverse/mastodon old-timers aren't really thinking about what's the actual problem with certain things, and instead have a knee jerk "Twitter did that, and Mastodon doesn't, so therefore it must be bad".

In any case, I fell like saying "the sky is the limit in how they can innovate" isn't entirely accurate. There are many things Twitter apps could do that at least some people on the fediverse wouldn't tolerate.

@atomicpoet I am aware. That's why I said "especially on Mastodon". The quote boost discussions I sawwere a good example of Mastodon users pushing back hard, even though other fediverse instance types support quote boosts.

Do any non-Mastodon fediverse instance types support full text search or non-chronological feeds ("algorithms")?
