Gregory's Server@jameschip I've never heard this specific take on full text search but you're very right. Whether or not people want microblogging to be ephemeral, it really just doesn't do non-ephemerality well. Not like the million other better options for persistent content.
Whenever someone tries, it feels strange to me. Like browsing the internet as a teenager knowing your parents are logging your search history. You feel like you need to act very intentionally, which makes it harder to have the kinds of organic conversations the fediverse seems to promote. That might just be me, though. I suppose it depends on what you want to get out of it
