projektir☕@u2764 Each privacy setting has a piece of text that does a pretty good job of explaining it, I think. I also thought the way private posts work wasn't changed, they are just being renamed to followers-only to improve clarity. Am I missing something?
@projektir It used to be that private posts were not federated to other instances; which is to say, only people on the same Masto instance as you could see your private posts. This is no longer the case as of v1.3
@u2764 Ah, fair enough. This seems fine to me, though, as I would have expected ALL my followers to see Private posts (since that's what the tooltip says, and since I follow people on all sorts of random instances).
Having extra granularity wouldn't hurt, though. I think that's along the same lines as allowing individuals to block instances and such.
