@LionsPhil@plush.city i disagree. for instance: if i see a screenshot of a tweet making the rounds, i can go look for that tweet. if the account has changed handles, it can be a bit of a challenge, but i'll be more often than not able to find the original tweet, and link it, no matter how old. on here, without text search, that's basically impossible. if the instance still exists i can find the account, but i'm not gonna scroll through three years-worth of toots to find the original one i'm looking for.
Mastodon cannot have a "milkshake duck" toot, or a "leopards eat my face" toot, or replicate the success of dril.

@nicuveo@tech.lgbt @LionsPhil@plush.city WAIT wait are you saying that that like what you want is to organize Mastodon's information and make it universally available? c_c

@LionsPhil@plush.city @nicuveo@tech.lgbt Re #hashtags. We have a pinned toot about it, it's that important. On fedi, use #milkshakeDuck, not simply 'milkshake duck'. In addition to being able to import toots, there *does* need to be a way to do #booleanSearch for #hashtags. eg. Either/or: #icecream #icecreme #gelato #gelati Addition: #icecream #icecreme +#fediArt Subtraction: #btc -#nft It seems #MastodonDevs are more interested in shadowban functions and #antiFeatures like the #botFarmTimeline, tho.
