@ben QUICK POLL:

Would you mind if your Mastodon host started permitting ADVERTISING in order to keep their service free?

@MugsysRapSheet I pay for my own host to avoid this. Do I care if someone else offers an ad-supported host for people who want that? I do not.

@ben I just wish there was a decent search engine on those wings. I’m getting really tired of even trying to find my own posts. Search works erratically even on your own stuff. It’s really tiresome. If it isn’t fixed, we’re going to miss our window to do this right.

@shoq I’m in complete agreement.

@shoq @ben
I believe instance admins would need to turn on elastic search, which adds a lot of overhead to the instances.

@fogelnet @ben elastic is very inefficient. We use Sonic search at Firefish (aka Calckey), it’s great for local search. But we need much more than local search. Very few people care about searching within their own instance too often.
