If you're wondering why there are so few news stories about the rise of #Mastodon, it's because nobody is getting paid to game the media about it.

There's no publicists, no cozy ad deals, no suits, no coercion: Nobody is getting rich off of Mastodon

@maria Did you deploy search?

@aguamielerogpz

@unitof is figuring it out!

@maria @aguamielerogpz Did y’all on Newsie? Would love to chat with someone about what it took.
@unitof @maria ha ha No, that is why I'm asking too. I haven't seen our administration talk about it.

@aguamielerogpz @unitof @maria

4.2 is still in beta and newsie is short of $600/mo in funding of its operations. Deploying additional features is probably not a priority right now.

@ekes @unitof @maria I was precisely curious about how the search could affect costs.
