   @evan I'm so confused by the question, ngl. I'm staunchly anti-search, so voted "strong no," but the ambiguity of the question means that it could be interpreted as "Search is fine, disregard community values!" or even "Search is fine if it tracks with community values, but I'm strongly against the current community values."

     @aendra you don't sound confused at all! It sounds like you have thought through the question quite a bit.

     I'm interested in your response, though. Could you elaborate on your position further?

     @evan It depends how you interpret the platform. If you see it as a place for "microblogging," and archivability is important because you want your posts available for posterity, then yeah, searchability will be a priority for you.

     I don't. I see it as a way to talk to friends, almost like a big global chat room. I have auto-delete enabled everywhere. I'm trans and assume hostility by default if someone is digging into my previous posts. If I find an infodump I want to reference in the future, I'll bookmark it. Search holds zero benefit for my usecase.
