@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.
@JonnyT @chartier Yeah, I can't speak at all to Bluesky or Meta platforms. I just know that Mastodon search needs to be at parity with Twitter search. Oh, and quote posts, too.
