If you've been waiting for full-text #search on #Mastodon, please go to #TootFinder and sign in. The more, the merrier.

Thanks to @buercher for building it.

It's opt-in, not opt-out. It respects Mastodon culture and doesn't index accounts that don't sign in.

That means the index might be small if we don't spread the word.

@petersuber @buercher or just use #hashtags as per design? 🤷‍♂️

@thejasonhearne @petersuber @buercher Really starting to get tired of this attitude on #mastodon of shaming users for wanting basic features. It's why most rationale people just throw up their hands and leave instead of putting up with this bullshit.

@thesuperpapagai @petersuber @buercher then use #Twitter I guess 🤷‍♂️

@thejasonhearne @petersuber @buercher I don't want people to use proprietary, centralized social media, that's the problem. The problem is that the most popular federated social media platform is basically taken hostage by a small minority of condescending idiots, which makes it harder and harder to get people to understand the benifits of decentralized social media.

Driving people off the platform will just embolded Elon Musk more, and shitty social media practices more.

@thesuperpapagai @petersuber @buercher I’m not sure I’d call the #Mastodon creators “condescending idiots”.
I get your point. I agree with the principle. But #Mastodon wasn’t built that way so it’s an #opportunity for a new #decentralised #platform to rise and then we can all let #Mastodon be #Mastodon.

@thejasonhearne @thesuperpapagai @petersuber So have we a federated system with a central instance deciding what can be done with it?
