Discoverability is a double edged sword. You'll find it, but so will every bot and scammer on the planet too. Then moderation will get ever stricter to get rid of the abusers and eventually the place becomes a mess for one reason or another.

I'm sure spam bots and scammers aren't waiting on indexes to appear and do their own, so providing an index can't make them more problematic they already are.

Trolls, bullies and harassers though will have better access to you.

Reminds me of security by obscurity in cryptography, I don't buy it.

In principle this probably happens but the alternative is having no large vibrant communities.

Hence a real name requirement, and/or a real money pseudonymous account requirement, seems to be pretty much the future.

[pixl97]

Authoritarians are salivating at the idea of real name requirements.

[JohnFen]

Not to mention that such requirements don't actually do what their proponents hope.

Possibly, how does that relate to my comment?
