In some fields of science, such as physics and machine learning, I’m finding that Twitter has gotten only *more* important in the past few months. My principled refusal to use that platform is beginning to hurt me professionally; I’m missing out on important discussions (including about my own articles). I’ve had some great exchanges on Mastodon and value the relationships I’ve forged here, but, as much as it pains me to say this, it’s just not the same. What can we do to fix this?
@gmusser The impossibility to search for a post (except via hashtags, but people don't really use them) makes this platform pretty useless for me compared to Twitter...
@flodebarre @gmusser it's a matter of finding the right features. For example, I recently found out that my server supports this: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/discussions/19819
