   If text search is ever implemented, it should be limited to your home timeline/mentions only. Lack of full-text search on general content is intentional, due to negative social dynamics of it in other networks

     @Gargron and then we wonder why decentralized social media has struggled to take off for half a decade. It's a pretty poor decision to limit our ability to actually find and interact with each other.

     @Lyndis you are right on about this. This choice against global search is asinine.

     Maybe he's still high from the Time Magazine shvt. I don't see how full text search is a social dynamic problem. It's a technical one. Elasticsearch can eat hardware for breakfast and be costly to run. Multiply that by n(x) instances one federates with and the hardware required ramps up faster.

     @Gargron strongly disagree. The search is incredibly useful during catastrophes, and live events. And the safeguard to avoid the problem you mention is already in place: the tweet can be made available only to followers.
