The fucking lack of site wide search is why I hate these federated services. Such a glaringly missing feature.
I’d rather have a smaller but somewhat predictable group of peers I grow to somewhat respect and trust than being confronted by thousands of random strangers that are there for mere “engagemen” but not for helping each other out or saying nice things.
Idk man if you're talking about Lemmy there's not much respect going on in here, alot of comments get disappeared. It's like the mods are on cocaine constantly sometimes.
I got accused of being transphobic and banned from an instance because I said that hate towards trans people is a dead cat argument. I forgot that America literally wants to kill trans people my bad.
Yeah it really makes Mastodon unusable as the "one big forum" that twitter was and bluesky is trying to be.
I want to be able to search for a URL and see what others have said about it. This is important for assessing credibility.
Its absolutely necessary in an age of disinformation
Obviously I shouldn't be able to read posts that are marked as "private" (eg only visible to people I follow), but the default "public" toots should be searchable. And not just site-wide, but fediverse-wide.
Thanks, this was helpful! Sounds like I’ll pass on Bluesky!
