I see 2 perfectly valid positions on #FediverseGlobalSearch:
1. "Would be immensely useful to find valuable information"
2. "Would be the perfect target-finder for bad actors/spam"
IMHO key point is *how* it would be implemented. (e.g. on opt-in basis)
Anyway, as @gerwitz wrote: "impossible to prevent […] indexing public timelines" → loosing battle.
It should be in our interest to build a "good" search engine to fill the feature vacuum before bad/ignorant one establishes.
I just found a new issue that should be part of the discussion on #fediverse #governance:

Their seem to be two contradicting positions:
"Would be immensely useful to find valuable information" vs. "Would be the perfect target-finder for trolls"
I think there are (technical) solutions for this, e.g. a optin-hashtag for indexing. But they need to be coordinated. → #constitution

@leakix I am doing this publicly so I can take whatever heat I deserve for this. Perhaps I didn’t have the foresight to add a narrow rule disallowing accounts for projects that are indexing the fediverse/providing fediverse search abilities. I own that. I am, unfortunately, going to have to ask you to find a different instance to host on. I expect you’ll find that this a wildly unpopular project across the fediverse. It pains me, because at some level, I think it’s a useful and missing function, however it’s antithetical the values of the fediverse. Thanks for your understanding, Jerry
