@atomicpoet #InVancouver. Problem solved. If no hash, rooter doesn’t care for their stuff to be searchable.

@mori That doesn't solve the problem at all. I care enough to be searchable (see my profile) and I refuse to use more than one hashtag in any one post.

Most people want full text search. It's probably the number one complaint about Mastodon, and a major reason so many people don't adopt it.

@atomicpoet Maybe an ability to opt out of full text search then. I like knowing that if I don’t put in any hashtags that my posts stay small time. That’s a feature for me and I assume other on here.

I understand the benefits of full text search, and there are valid uses for it. But also like that haters can’t easily hunt down and insert themselves into random convos very easily.

@mori You can already set your posts to not be indexed in search.

Just use the unlisted visibility option that opts you out of search.

See screenshot.

@atomicpoet Ok that’s cool. I’ll check it out.
