Once again I see people talking about how Mastodon needs quote posts and full text search “right now" but is "opposed." Both features are on the road map (https://joinmastodon.org/roadmap) at the highest priority.
The actual problem is resources (money and/or qualified volunteers), which no one seems to talk about. People talk about Mastodon like it's equivalent to companies with billions in VC money, like the only barrier to implementing features is the desire to do so. The barrier is staffing.
@dgoldsmith It's not clear to me from that roadmap page: Is there an easy way to find more detail on the items there? I was assuming that they probably correspond to issues on Github but the items on that page don't appear to be links.
@internic @dgoldsmith They don’t correspond to issues on GitHub, which is a ridiculous situation.
@internic I'm not aware of any further information available for features on the road map.
