A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Threads had no discovery features?! Jesus Christ...
No hashtags, no full text search. Just an algorithmic feed and a following feed, and you can only search users.
That's...really bad 😭 Even Mastodon allows you to search by hashtags (I know it supports full-text search but most instances turn that off because it's pricey)
Actually I only pay $20/month for a hosted opensearch server for my Mastodon instance. I think a lot of people on Mastodon are against full text search for ideological reasons.
