Looking for stories of women evading marriage and society by living freely on the move. I know this was a thing in the US, but also curious about elsewhere.
Text search for social media is vital for news gathering, public safety, and even humanitarian efforts by NGOs across the globe... and maybe even a sports fan or two. The as:Public software suite is here to power that, and so much more!
@rigo There was never a mention of it being a financial problem though. If the draconian data purging was introduced to spare resources on the DB, I'd understand and we could help tune it. If LQDN asked for money to afford a beefier DB, I'd be happy to contribute.
As for tootfinder, do you think someone could offer to sponsor/host it without being dragged into all the surrounding #FediSearch drama / #FediMeta?
Mastodon knows @stepan as an opensource enthusiast and #fedisearch creator but he's also this super cool guy who's down for any adventure & smiles through any inconvenience & always makes me happy & is my favorite person in general. 😊❤️ Enjoy this view of him on #skybridge721.
Zaznamenal jsem diskuzi o seznamu českých účtů pro zdejší nováčky. Lidé se na decentralizované síti z její podstaty špatně hledají. Proto jsem si před 4 lety napsal #FediSearch. České účty na něm hledám třeba takto: https://fedisearch.skorpil.cz/feeds?search=czech*%7C%C4%8Desk*%7C%F0%9F%87%A8%F0%9F%87%BF%7Ccz
Nelze tam najít každého, profil musí mít povoleno, že je vyhledatelný, jinak ho crawler do indexu nezařadí. Jinak ale účty nekontroluju a nepřebírám. Jak je crawler najde tak tam jsou.

When I really started using Mastodon in Nov 2022 I was a bit mystified by the hostile attitudes towards the idea of #Search. I've since come around to appreciate the importance of informed consent.
@supernovae Wow, I had no idea you were doing this. Maybe the reason you've had so little pushback is that few other people know you're doing it, either - especially given that a login is required on your instance to see it.
How do I opt out? My account is already opted out of search in my settings, yet I see my posts searchable on your instance.
So, tell me again why indie devs shouldn't build anything related to search/scraping on the fediverse? Google's already scraping the hell out of us, we're just giving them the service on a silver platter
