I've been pondering the posts by @kissane and @siderea about 'not finding your people' #OnHere and am wondering if sentiments toward fediverse-wide #FullTextSearch have shifted at all. I know this has been implemented several times, and then been graciously shut down by developers who listened to community feedback.

This week, I went over to Bluesky and asked people who'd left Mastodon why they left, and lots of people told me. I grabbed the replies and crunched them and wrote up a summary. I think it's really interesting and often kind of wrenching. https://erinkissane.com/mastodon-is-easy-and-fun-except-when-it-isnt #meta

@krohne @kissane @siderea so heads up, full-text search is finally happening on vanilla Mastodon. it looks like they're going to be using the same combination of public post visibility and the discoverable account flag for opt-in as my Mastodon extended search patch (the one Universeodon runs)
