From what I've been reading, a there is a large contingent in the Fediverse that is against people being easily found. This is due to fears of of harassment and stalking. I think this is not a sustainable view. It is trivial to write a crawler to find people's profiles using open APIs, and even more could be garnered if you scrape pages. If you don't want to be found but must put stuff on the internet, the answer is to not federate.
