Enzo Giordani left Mastodon and can be found on bluesky (see the thread for details).

Hi all dear tootlings,
@marion4life and I just stumbled over the puzzling fact, that we can't find Enzo Giordani from Aotearoa (New Zealand) anymore here on Mastodon.
Enzo is a wonderful wildlife and sports photographer, his former handle was @enzo@photog.social, but this account seems not to exist anymore. Does anyone know of his current Mastodon handle?

That means when I make something I’m limited by what I know and what I can do. This is […]

#TwitterMigration #PeopleSearch

There is a real need to have an option to ignore #Bots in search results. I just searched for someone who does not seem to have migrated, but there are 6 different bots pointing to them.

This is going to cause a lot of frustration for incoming users, as they wont know which one to pick.

blurred search results - there are 6 rows for one person.  All of them are for bots.
