@Gargron out of curiosity: do current third party clients need to do anything particular to fetch results (like using a specific API) or is it all server based and normal search is fine? Thanks @MaryPot You're not on the version I'm talking about. You can always search your own posts. @Gargron Opt-in for the win. These kinds of things should always be opt-in by default. When Facebook and Google started doing automatic opt-in for all their dodgy data shanigans was when I started opting out of their services entirely. Treat your user with respect! Thanks for doing so here at #mastodon @Gargron that just feels a bit binary. I like their stuff. It's just when there's too much I loose everyone. A function to allow users to deprioitize posts/boosts from users, without turning them off altogether would be great. |
@Gargron Is it turned on or off by default?
