#Discord also has unacceptable #ToS and is purposefully designed with neither #searchability, #indexability or #accessibility in mind.

Replacing #IssueTracker, #Support and/or (effectively non-existing) #Documentation with a shitty Discord instance is just blatant assholeism and everyone who does even consider doing so in lieu of #GitHub, #GitLab or god forbid even #Savannah and #SpurceForce should be banned from #FLOSS #Project and #CommunityManagment!

@merpderp Sometimes with obscure or specific-enough tags you can still get found a while later, but yes #discoverability & #searchability need work.

@jeremias For the nine millionth time, antifascist researchers want #searchability so we can track information about Nazis in real time and alert people in other areas when Nazis are planning something so we can show up to counter them. We don't have the money or resources to all run our own instances especially since with the kind of stuff we post, Nazis are always trying to DDOS and sue us.

If you're not going to be helpful about this, please be quiet. What we want to do will not affect you in any way.

To the migrating antifascist researchers tearing their hair out over lack of #searchability on Mastodon: don't despair! We're in talks for a solution! :af:

@AJSWritesthings @gwensnyder @meganox

For antifascist researchers moving here, we think the biggest hurdle is not the lack of #quotability but the lack of #searchability. The hashtag-only search function makes it very difficult to find accurate and timely information from other researchers.

A lot of people on Mastodon don't want those functions and have perfectly logical reasons as to why: privacy, and reducing vulnerability to harassment. Ideally, both quotability and searchability would be added into the basic interface but only as opt-in. So those of us who WANT to be fully searchable and quotable could opt in, while others would simply maintain the privacy boundaries they currently enjoy.

We are looking into Akkoma for more specialized antifascist research use, which apparently federates with Mastodon but allows those kinds of functions.

However, the argument that lack of QTs reduces conflict doesn't seem to play out. Every time we've talked about racism on Mastodon we've gotten plenty of conflict without QTs and have had to block quite a few clueless techbro types.

Other arguments against QTs are more valid though. On Twitter, they do encourage manipulative harvesting social capital via easy dunking, for example, and result in a lot of repetitive BS that kind of lowers useful discussion for everyone.

It seems like the best long-term solution would be basic opt-in privacy levels so any user could set their posts to be either quotable or not quotable, searchable or not searchable. That way, no one is forced into a new feature they don't want.

@wchr It would be great to see some #Hashtags in your #Toots for more #visibility and #searchability in the #Fediverse.
With #Mastodon V4, it is possible to #followHashtags - but to do so, we need them.
#UseHashtags

Wondering how hashtags act in the CW line, hypothesis is that they work just like the emojis in the CW.

Edit #1 CW Hashtag in Content Warning is Unclickable.

Checking for #Searchability.

Edit #2 Hashtags in #ContentWarning are not searchable.

#FediTips : Do not waste those # characters in the CW, place your HashTags in the body of the post.

@GrittyLipids Agreed, it does take some getting used to.

In addition, reposting/boosting posts also helps improve their #searchability for others (you can search hashtags, but only for posts on your instance - either ones made locally, or ones that your instance has a copy of because somebody followed that person, or boosted their post)

Is there a #FAQ on how #Google indexes #Mastodon posts (or not) , what's the role of an instance on #searchability #search etc ?

@leakix

I missed the controversy, of #Fedsearch but I can't understand for the life of me why Mastodon can't have a feature for accounts to mark themselves for their posts to be indexed for #Search?
And for #Searchability to be further sub-configurable at post/reply level?

I'd opt in happily (not that I have much to offer though I'm sure 🤪).

Is search opt-in a non starter as a Mastodon feature request?

Hello #NewUsers ! Remember to use lots of #Hashtags in your #Posts to increase #visibility, #searchability, and #interaction, it's fundamental to building up your #Brand #Identity on here #Feditips

@amici@snabelen.no
If it is not found in one minute of #searching, consider it #unfindable.

We feel its important to simply stop using legacy #search, for everything, including #business. If one values their business. All our messaging including irl, speak in the language of FOSS and decentralisation.

On fedi, we use #hashtags on all our nouns and concepts for #searchability, too.
