You know what, I'm not sure that the whole "have to choose a server" deal is the real issue stopping people from migrating to #Mastodon. I think it's lack of features and function. Lack of search ability. No quote-RT equivalent. Can't see reply/boost/favorite numbers without clicking on a post.
There is no good reason to not have these. Don't @ me with "but trolls use them—" Bullshit. Trolls are the problem with trolls, not the user tools.
@jjLitke 100% agree about trolls and other bad actors. The good news is that we’ll get quote-posts, it’s on the dev list now. Yay!
Clicking to see numbers is mostly a function of federation, hard to solve technically.
Search is both a technical federation issue and a cultural one, so I’m not sure whether that’s harder or easier. Would sure be nice, though!
