Confession: I have been on that Other Site for the last few hours talking about Tucker Carlson and Don Lemon because ... well, this is a good example of why I do miss search here. I want to see what people are saying; I want to know the latest reporting; and, yes, I want to quote-tweet NYTimes Pitchbot. Now it's OK if the community of Mastodon decides it doesn't want to be a key place for news but I'd regret that. And I'm not speaking so much as a journalist but as news user.

@jeffjarvis You can search here... You can search for hashtags (so just search for #Tucker or whatever)... You also have pretty much any of the fediverse search engines you can use which will index free-text (which most servers dont do, but thats a mastodon limitation only).
