Hi everybody, I’m ready to unveil my year-end-holiday-hack project:

Meet Searchtodon: ***Private*** Timeline Search for Mastodon

It fills a gap that I have been missing over on Twitter as well: “I remember seeing this THING, where was that again?”

It is built with privacy and consent in mind (pls see the FAQ), but is also *an experiment* to see if something like this is accepted by the larger Mastodon community.

Here goes: https://searchtodon.social

@janl i've played with the beta of searchtodon over the last week or so, and it has been VERY USEFUL. It is done in a thoughtful way, and I hope the community recognizes that.

Why is the internet so broken, and what could ever possibly fix it? The internet is broken, author Ben Tarnoff argues, because it is owned by private firms and run for profit. Hear from Ben at our IN-PERSON book talk:

I've told y'all, I don't care much for #NFL football anymore. But I do care a lot about NFL players.

#DamarHamlin suffered a heart attack on the field, and the game would have continued if both teams hadn't protested.

Up until a few years ago the NFL used race norming, meaning that if both Brett Favre and I won brain damaged settlements my payout would be lower, because "Blacks have lower IQ anyways!"

You may be able to enjoy this sport. I can't.

Wishing Damar a speedy and complete recovery.

Indeed:

"There’s more to #Mastodon than just replacing #Twitter...One of the benefits of the Fediverse is that I can use my preferred system to post things and you can follow and interact with any ActivityPub-compatible system you prefer... It’s all powered by the ActivityPub standard... It’s the end of platform...lock-in. It means every small app can benefit from a network effect previously only available to gatekeeper platforms."

Never mind you can't ski in the Alps this winter. Think about the empty rivers in spring and all the failed harvests this summer all over Europe.
