Lots of small improvements across the user experience, and opt-in search, make this an important release.

      @SorteKanin Some people object to any feature they have seen be abused on Twitter, whether or not it also has legitimate uses. And as it turns out almost any feature *can* be used to harass. If you want to just have your own little space, search allows bad guys to find you. It of course allows good guys to find you too. Some still do not think that’s a worthwhile tradeoff (I don’t agree, and I think it’s futile, and I support search, btw.)

      I’m not on Mastodon, why were people against search?

      Probably because they are illiterate about very basic concepts on the internet.
