I didn't realize this before, but as more people join up, human history on the internet will be here. We will need a search engine to replace Google because Google probably can't search the fediverse. It's a very interesting problem for sure. For example, if I need car trouble help, I search "reddit, Honda Civic 2005, starter noises" and I get useful information from others. If you don't add "reddit" you get garbage results. One day, reddit will be just one guy keeping the lights on like the myspace guy or that meta or Tweeter guy. It's going to suck if we can't find each other's ideas and posts.

@junbird @Sal @imgprojts maybe due to missing central index, rather many local, distributed ones. But, I am just guessing. Full-text indices may also be cumbersome to distribute.
