@stux Well I am a junior scholar. I went to follow someone with the @scholar.social tag and saw that their toot was obscured. I am unsure why, but my guess was because they chose to share it only with a smaller community. Is the point of the secondary tags to create more community? It seems unnecessarily segregated.
I guess the idea is that it's like reddit, but reddit is different because the user profile is almost non existent when making a post, that contrary to the user identity of mstdn.
Just getting a sort of it. I am not computer oriented.
