Airline pilots, UPS truck drivers and now Hollywood screenwriters have shown the power of workers to buck decades of shareholder driven wage suppression and gotten their fair share.

Competition is a beautiful thing. After what feels like months to years of stasis, the Mastodon team is launching a ton of great new features.

My personal favorite is that on the heels of Threads launching content search, Mastodon has one upped Threads by adding content search with search operators. 🎉🎉🎉

You can search for a post that has an embedded link, or a poll, or is from a specific user, or posted between specific dates. Nice work.
