Gregory's Server@dangoodin @hengstenberg @chartier oh phew okay, same page! I know there are many that argue against it but I really think the lack of quote post hampers discoverability

 @chartier @Emtweetworld @hengstenberg I get that YOU and other people you know don't need discoverability, but many people, me included, do need it. Mark my words because I'll stand behind them: without a working search capability, Maston will remain on the fringes and be dwarfed by competitors.  @dangoodin @Emtweetworld @hengstenberg And maybe that's ok. If people want a toxic environment so badly, maybe they deserve a toxic environment.  @dangoodin @ReneeWestberry I don't see how the search box indicates that you can search posts from people on other instances. It's my understanding that the only way to search across instances is with hashtags. Maybe I'm wrong, though? @dangoodin @ReneeWestberry @dangoodin Can’t you just view the Fediverse feed? Find people there? @CarolynStirling @ReneeWestberry @dangoodin Naw, journos don’t do that. We commoners can do it, but they’re better than us. @hengstenberg @chartier @Emtweetworld @dangoodin Why do you NEED discoverability? @dangoodin @chartier @hengstenberg @Emtweetworld Ohhhh. I get it. You’re a journo. You guys seem to hate Mastodon in general, because God forbid you have to actually interact with the unwashed. 😑 |
@Emtweetworld @dangoodin @hengstenberg What if we don't need as much discoverability?
What if boosting a post is fine, and people can choose to follow that person on their own?
Linking a post with your own commentary works great too. People know how to tap on links, I super duper promise. They do.
