"Only hashtags are searchable" is a lie though. Only hashtags are searchable BY SEARCH ENGINES THAT FOLLOW THE RULES.
We *JUST* had a client that was archiving every toot and letting people full-text search them. It isn't hard. People are going to toot things thinking it is safe, and it will come back to bite them.

@Canageek Hell, I'm pretty sure someone made a full-text Mastodon search engine in the early days. I seem to recall that I even had a link to it at one time, though I've long since lost it.

@Canageek if it is written down, there is a record of it and you should assume an unintended party will read it.
With mastodon, we pass those messages to lots of servers, so there's LOTS of copies.
