For all the talk of Threads launching with features missing Meta still managed to beat Mastodon to shipping search. There’s room for many, many, many federated platforms, and we should support lots of experimentation, but at the end of the day I expect this to happen over and over again. Companies like Meta or Tumblr or whoever have been building excellent social networking apps that people want to use for over a decade, in a way that a hardworking well-meaning group of volunteers have not.

Search must be possible here too but it is difficult to justify the server costs.
