If you are in your late thirties to mid-forties right now, there is a good chance that you have spent most of your life in a cycle of making some sort of home on the internet only to have it crumble beneath you like chalk and having to start over.

@evacide There was a shooting more or less in my vicinity today. My first reaction was to long for the days when a simple text search on Twitter would have been enough to figure what was going on.

@marielgm @evacide I think it would be nifty if we could geotag our Fediverse posts and thus be able to find recent posts near me (chronological posts within a fixed distance). Would bring back that concept, albeit not as widespread as Twitter was.

You kind of get that at a coarse level by joining a geographically local instance if one exists

@gbargoud @ClickyMcTicker IMO the beauty of Twitter was its text searchability and old chronological feed organization, no need for geolocation data. I don't think Mastodon has to /could be what Twitter used to be. But I still miss it
