I've been pondering the posts by @kissane and @siderea about 'not finding your people' #OnHere and am wondering if sentiments toward fediverse-wide #FullTextSearch have shifted at all. I know this has been implemented several times, and then been graciously shut down by developers who listened to community feedback.

@krohne @kissane @siderea Opt-out should be on an instance basis. As in, by joining this instance you are opting-in to searchability, unless you explicitly opt-out.

I do like the idea of people moving to instances where search happens, AND, and think we could let everyone opt-in by including this choice during the on-boarding process. All about what we want to encourage with UX patterns.
