I absolutely love @anildash Idea of opt-in full-text search for the #fediverse How about, creating an #activitypub bot, that you can mention in your post, and only this post will get indexed and available in a full-text search engine. This could eliminate the negative impacts, such as vulnerability through visibility, while also making it easier to find answers for niche question. Anybody with the #coding skills necessary interested ? https://www.anildash.com/2023/01/16/a-fediverse-search/
@berkes@mastodon.nl@josep @anildash I built exactly that with flockingbird. It got blocked, banned, pitchforks were raised, threats posted to my and some volunteers DMs and a lot of outrage and anger vented.
Believe me, there are some very strong bullies here on the fediverse that will use outraged mobs to push anything they dislike off the fediverse. Not just from their own part, but pushed from as large a fediverse as possible.
I started a blogpost a few times, but it keeps getting too angry and too easy to mistake for critique on the entire fediverse, easily sounding destructive. I did not manage to make it constructive. I guess my frustrations are too much in the way.
I'd rather leave it at that, than put something out there that might harm the great work of mods, admins and devs.
