   @alex This is true but I don’t see how accepting officially supported Fediverse search would ease up this transition. “Bad actors have cluster munitions” isn’t the greatest argument in favor of using them.

     The greater Fediverse community is in store for a hard transition as the greater network transitions from “too small for anybody to care” to “financially worthwhile for professional disinfo trolls, spam farms, Grey-market adtech, and organized CSE groups.”

     I find the arguments against officially supported Fediverse search pretty tedious, as you have to be really naive to believe that a bunch of bad-faith actors aren’t already quietly archiving everything.

     Much better to positively engage with people trying to provide a service that is clearly in demand than to bikeshed every public discussion while Prigozhin, Palantir, and a dozen GenZ Alexander Kogans archive everything.
