  • TIL about #Searchtodon experiment & (with it's closing) @janl excellent retrospective on it: https://searchtodon.social/Adventures-in-Mastoland.html I guess count me in regarding (1) ability to search my timeline for things I missed (I already save/sync my personal #Mastodon posts on https://davidbisset.social) and (2) Jan's last points – #Fediverse will only get bigger and for it's protection and…

  • Encountering more items #Fediverse related now that i'm spending more time on #Mastodon. Soapbox – a "UI for the Fediverse" – has a new version (3.0). Looks on the surface very much like Twitter (or the Twitter I most commonly think of). https://soapbox.pub/blog/releasing-soapbox-3.0/

  • Enjoyed this: How to “get your face torn off” making a deeper search API for #Mastodon (via @timbray) “The #Fediverse needs to get its content-licensing crap together.” tbray.org/ongoing/When/2…
