I don't think there is any need to compromise on the design.

The limited distribution and archiving creates valuable friction against nefarious actors.

I can still search and find a ton of stuff, especially if my instance supports good feeds and I use hashtags effectively.

My point is that I've met many newbies who react in horror when they can't instantly find everything they want with a plain text search. "I can in X!"

IMO, just needs a clear and cogent explanation.
