Every post in the #fediverse that isn't public should be encrypted. This should be the default, so that to post publicly, a person has to know what they're doing and turn it off. That way, anyone who wants to build search and discovery tools for public posts can do so without permission, or fear of retribution.

I think it's a medium of public conversation and attention. I like that your proposal would erase some of the confusion over search, but I think it would increase the confusion for new users.

That would depend on UI design. There's ways a thoughtfully designed UX could guide people into posting as privately or publicly as they wish to. The lack of this clarity causes more problems than just long arguments about search, that just the tip of the iceberg.
