@mattswift @jonny very good points. While I appreciate the concern for privacy.. this is social media. Posting to the internet isn’t private

@mattswift @2du @jonny my understanding is that Mastodon does not provide an actual private setting. Instead, things can be set to be much more difficult to find (like setting a message to “mentioned people only”but that is to prevent noise for others. It does not creat me a true private message. |
@2du @jonny True, but social media platforms can work as insular/private communities too, so the choice is very important, which Mastodon thankfully provides.
It just needs better sane defaults that are based around how people use and expect social media to work, while the others can fine tune how they want things.
