   @fbievan I agree it probably isn't going to be fixed. But I absolutely think it should be. It should be possible to share posts so that they can be found via hashtags across the fediverse without having to make them web-public. It should be possible to share posts instance-only. And having other instances respect whether content should be indexed should be part of the good-faith expectations of peer instances across the fediverse. Otherwise all the promises and guarantees are just utter tosh.

     @fbievan I think the fundamental design of how the Fediverse works is being tested in this and similar ways across the board right now, because presuming good faith unless proven otherwise isn't scalable. Having more and more users but relying on the same number of admins to police abuse isn't scalable (even though it means there are more mods here than in conventional centralised services). And if something isn't scalable, magic thinking ("it'll be fine") won't make everything fine.
