One of the biggest criticisms of Mastodon's technical capabilities involves how limited its search system is. With a new update, everything has changed.
So if you’re worried about that, shouldn’t you rather just not post that stuff to the public?
To me this feels like the same logic as “If you have nothing to hide, why do you care?”
I mean, you’re right, people shouldn’t post stuff publicly if they truly don’t want it to be indexed, but that doesn’t mean that whatever we want to say or do publicly can’t be used against us in some way even if we think that what we say and do is ok. Like existing while being queer online, for instance
It’s all good
