Let's see how many servers actually implement ElastiSearch. It's kinda resources-heavy.
Yeah, I feel like they'd probably get better mileage with something like Meilisearch, which is what Firefish uses for search.
It also adds to the deployment complexity even more. Just from memory, to run Mastodon you need:
So this is at least 5 different server processes to manage, In reality for almost all deployments, Redis and Elasticsearch are unnecessary; the database can be used for jobs and full text search. Further, it could even be SQLite for all but large instances.
The deployment story for Mastodon is a nightmare and a substitute like Pleroma or even better something in Rust is necessary.
I like it :) Should make it easier for people to use.
Finally, Mastodon will be using be usable for me.
And no corporate publicity too
