       OKAY SOMastodon already has full text search, it uses ElasticSearch, and everyone is opted-in by default because that makes sense. It is also dogshit and does not work. At all.So in the next version of Mastodon, on instances that already have full text search enabled, Mastodon is going to *remove all users’ content from the full text search index until they click a checkmark three clicks deep in settings*????How the fuck is this not a feature regression???? https://oliphant.social/@oliphant/110946415973866735

       This literally is going to completely decimate what little content discovery there is on Mastodon. I am going to have EVEN MORE users complaining to me as an admin about full text search not working or being inconsistent. Now there are more things that can go wrong. Because now it’s not just that it isn’t indexed by ElasticSearch. It could be that this stupid fucking property isn’t federated properly. Or that it’s not enabled for a user.
