This is a great essay (and tool). I wanted to highlight one passage:
"All that's really necessary [to make an opt-in search index] is to create an ActivityPub instance and have users follow a specific account in order to opt-in. It even simplifies the system's architecture, because indexable content will get sent straight to the index instance, with no spiders required."
While you say this has been talked about before, *I* hadn't seen it so clearly expressed, so thanks!

@mattl @Chronotope Oh right, I had known about that, but forgot it.
Yet another birdsite refugee (although I was hardly active on it). Mainly plan to boost, rather than write original content (writing is scary!) but we'll see.I'm also a #filker (listener, singer, archivist, very occasional writer of #filk), although under a different name.
