Jorge Caballero, MDMastodon is the best social network for breaking news from trusted sources. I wish the Mastodon Core project would prioritize features such as global search that would make it easier to discover boots-on-the-ground reporters and OSINT (and no, hashtags don't work so spare me the proselytizing)
ScottMGS@DataDrivenMD I'm not completely sure how that works technically but I'm pretty sure that my little single-user Mastodon server would choke on all the requests and I think my excess data charges would go through the roof. Those costs need to be covered by those using the total text search service. I could absolutely see the larger instances supporting that feature but I'm not sure it would federate well.
@DataDrivenMD Maybe it could be done via RSS or something? Again, nowhere near my wheelhouse.
