3/6 It is good news that Mastodon is rolling out search functionality, incl in the instance I use (.social). I love that the Mastodon project is doing that. However, it will; take quite some time for this to become prevalent, as people basically need to opt-in for search indexing. That’s ok, I have no problem with that approach. Just saying, it’ll still take a long time for Mastodon to become more useful than X, on that account.

4/6 Another reason I still (unfortunately) rely on X is that certain core communities are based there. Much of web dev (although there’s also a growing community of web geeks here on Mastodon) and nearly all of the AI app crowd are still based on X. Maybe that will slowly change, but it’ll be in years not months.
mastodon is old news, nostr is the future
search works fine on nostr
