re: Full-text search on Mastodon rant
@SeanWrightSec@infosec.exchange @buherator@infosec.exchange To reiterate: fedi is primarily a place built by marginalized people for marginalized people, and that means a heavy emphasis on community safety features.
It is neither meant to be a Twitter clone, nor a "public square", nor something that optimizes for "what the majority wants".
Convenience with disregard for the consequences is already the default everywhere else. Why is it such a problem that this is the one place where it isn't? Why does everything need to be like Twitter?

@SeanWrightSec@infosec.exchange @buherator@infosec.exchange (Sidenote: did you have an earlier account elsewhere? Because it's a bit odd to call this a "worrying trend" when this has very explicitly been the policy here for *years* and you joined here less than a month ago...)
