    You don’t…you go back to forums. They’re searchable. Discord and Facebook and well anything self hosted isnt via search engines

      But many people don’t want to have everything completely public, even if privacy is a illusion there.

      We have to accept that and provide a solution for both.

        You can lock down forums to were they’re un searchable unless you have a login. Tons of forums are like this.

        This isn’t true at all. Most people do not care about privacy; those that do are an extreme minority. You (presumably) and I are part of that minority yet even we still comment here, in a public space. The issue with forums has never been about privacy because most are content with pseudonymity. It is a big mistake to think we need to cater to the extreme minority in the privacy space when tackling big issues that involve a majority who do not care.
