   So will there be a fork of Mastodon without quotes and full text search?

   Many people came to Mastodon because it didn’t have those features.

   But now that Mastodon will have those features, those folks should have a place to call home.

     @atomicpoet @fediversenews I just got results back from a plain text search.

     I don’t think Mastodon is “bad” for adding quotes and full text search.

     In fact, I’ve been advocating that they add that for awhile.

     However Mastodon cannot and should not be all things to all people. If you don’t want quoted posts and full text search, you still have a space on the Fediverse.

     @gpowerf @fediversenews Any server software that positions itself as the mainstream of the Fediverse should implement features that are deemed essential for the mainstream.

     @atomicpoet @fediversenews interesting. What do you think about implementing full text search? I suspect it can be a double edge sword, a useful tool but also easily abused.

     @atomicpoet MENSAJES CITADOS? CITAR TOOTS?

     Es eso?

     Nooo, por favor no, en su momento si es lo que pienso se dijo NO a citar.

     Que desilusión si es así.

     @atomicpoet @fediversenews

     What is bad about full quotes?

     What is bad about with full text search?

     No new fork needed. It already exists.

     @MudMan That’s not how the Fediverse’s design works.

     @atomicpoet That's not how social media design works, though. It's not about not being able to search yourself, it's about not being searchable and the search not driving hositle posting. It's not about not being able to QT, it's about callout QTs not being the main mode of interaction.

     You can't make all social media to all people, the absent features are part of the design. Which is why nobody cares that those features are already availabl ein other applications.

     @atomicpoet @fediversenews I am reasonably sure both those features will be opt-out, and maybe even opt-in, so I really don't think a fork will be needed.
