Gregory's Server@jameschip That's a people problem, not a technology problem. People will always do the wrong thing.
However being unable to find anything on here without playing "guess the hashtag" is a technology problem.
Day 1 of Mastodon for casual users - it's dead, there's nothing to read, I don't know anyone, the search is broken, I'm off back to Twitter.
