sure you can search for user names, but doesn't help with impersonation on defederated servers right?

any way to search the whole thing or have all the projects aiming to do that stopped because of backlash @ the idea of a fediverse-wide search function?

That's not specifically an issue for the Fediverse but your entire online life. You may consider a service like Keyoxide.

i wish it was more widespread in the non tech world. Not only keyoxide but public key signatures and encryption in general.

Absolutely. E2EE is maybe the most important sinlge feature in digital communication.
