Umm ... are you married? There are costs to that strategy. I'm just asking if some folks who are smarter than me can help craft an effective story. I suspect there are quite a few potential converts who might be helped. You know, a "feature, not bug" type explanation. 6 comments
 @vicuzumeri @evan If you host a Mastodon (or Akkoma, Sharkey, GoToSocial, Epicyon, PixelFed and so on) instance for your family and if the software supports full text search and you'd enable it would that be a good compromise ? I don't think there is any need to compromise on the design. The limited distribution and archiving creates valuable friction against nefarious actors. I can still search and find a ton of stuff, especially if my instance supports good feeds and I use hashtags effectively. My point is that I've met many newbies who react in horror when they can't instantly find everything they want with a plain text search. "I can in X!" IMO, just needs a clear and cogent explanation.  @vicuzumeri @adiz @evan It's growing your own instead of letting a billionaire plant and grow the fruit trees they want you to pick from? |
