@mackayim2022 I've protected my account over there and don't spend much time there either. Using @ivory here has made things very nice to keep up.

@ProfCharlesHaas @mackayim2022 @ivory @ivory is a great client, and so is Ice Cubes. On the web an option is @elk eg http://elk.zone.

@PieterPeach @ProfCharlesHaas @ivory @elk Yeah I'm back on @elk. Giving Megalodon a break. Elk has a better more familiar feel.

@mackayim2022 While Mastodon hasn't absorbed all the attention migrating from Xitter, it is still improving in terms of feature sets (full text search is about to be implemented and #quoteposts are on the near term roadmap). It's good to know that there is a alternative future.

@PieterPeach I would love it to speed these sorts of basic changes along.

@mackayim2022 Agreed. Unfortunately some of these system wide changes in complex code bases takes time to get right while there are competing priorities like spam management and moderation features

@PieterPeach I can only imagine. But I am seeing e.g. Spoutible, moving a little faster in this sort of thing

@mackayim2022 It would be easier to do this if the model is a centralised application like Spoutible where you don’t have 9,000 separate servers run by different entities.

@mackayim2022 looks like full text search has been implemented. It’s opt in so you need to go to settings>public profile>Privacy and reach and tick this box to allow content to be included. Not all instances would have updated yet but eventually will.

@PieterPeach @mackayim2022 As world’s greatest genius, Xlon Muxk, has been not learning.
