"During a FediForum session about Fediscovery, Mastodon CTO Renaud Chaput confirmed that between 8% and 10% of active accounts have opted into Mastodon’s search, a year after it has been released. It indicates one of the fundamental challenges of any design that is opt-in: very few people will change the default settings" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Which is why search in Mastodon will probably never work great… and why #Bridgy won't work as well as it could.

Last Week in Fediverse – ep 84

Fediforum happened this week, mozilla.social shuts down, and Mastodon announces the Fediverse Discovery Project.

@mackuba the irony in self hosting a mastodon instance then using it to get people to come to bluesky is wild (respect)!

@jglypt I post & read on Mastodon because I prefer a non-monetised space where I curate my own feed and we are not manipulated by algos. Many highly intelligent people found the learning curve here too steep and opted for the convenience of Bluesky. I would like to read what they say, & be read by those people too. I see nothing wrong with opt-in #Bridgy, & every reason to reunite communities as valuable as #ScienceTwitter & #AcademicTwitter. Let's encourage widespread use!

@ClaireFromClare @mackuba uh, unless you use Mastodon’s search there’s no way to curate your own “feed”, although you can do EXACTLY that on Bluesky. :)
