 @dangoodin @chartier I'm intrigued. You don't have full text search and access to >90% of the content on Facebook yet it's far more significant and important than Twitter ever was or will be. It seems to me that you're measuring an expectation to access to content from the perspective of what happened to be available via a single social media platform - Twitter - that wasn't and isn't available elsewhere. If that's a problem here, it'll be a problem elsewhere too. 6 comments
@dangoodin @chartier I'm not disagreeing with you on that latter point, I fully expect Mastodon to remain a minority platform. But I'm failing to see how access to content here will be all that different on eg. Threads. It's not like Instagram have ever made it easy to get content or data out of that platform so I don't expect they'll do any different with Threads. Bluesky may make it trivial to extract but it's unclear at this point whether or not it'll go anywhere.  @dangoodin @chartier I'm of the opinion that Twitter is already dead. I give it 6 months at most. Once it's gone, there isn't going to be another platform with search parity with Twitter. That era of access to almost everything on a platform will die with it. Mastodon could be that but I don't think the ethos of the place and the people building it will permit it. Calckey supersedes Mastodon in terms of search etc but I'm not sure it'll get big enough either.  @dangoodin@infosec.exchange @JonnyT@mastodon.me.uk @chartier@toot.cafe |

@JonnyT @chartier I have never used Facebook. Ever, so I can't speak to that. I can only say with conviction that until Mastodon search has parity with Twitter's Mastodon will remain an outpost.
