Hey, all. Very interesting! I am disappointed but not surprised that so few people use Followers Only; it is an excellent feature on most social networks and very broken on Mastodon.

I'm also disappointed about "quiet public". It's the type of experience a lot of people who post Public seem to want, but it's confusing enough that maybe a lot of people don't use it.

Anyway, I'm Public, Quiet Public (default in reply to someone who posted QP) and Private Mention.

Thanks all who replied.

@evan only 83% use public? I thought it'd be something like 99%

@evan Here's where everyone finds out unlisted got a name change. To another unhelpful name.

@evan I know that I've definitely used two of them, but I also clicked on the other two while I was considering them.

@evan I have also used the "write, rewrite several times, then just delete" feature numerous times.

@evan Thank you, I didn't even know about Quiet Public. (Actually, I still don't, but I will look it up.)

@evan I would like to concur with @imanijoy on this particular one in saying "what the everlovin' eff is QUIET PUBLIC?!?!" https://infosec.exchange/@codinghorror/116442461408006448

@evan I'm not sure I know what "quiet public" is! Public and PM for me.

@evan I still don't understand what quiet public does in complete detail. But people seem to use it a bunch and sometimes I do too

@evan@cosocial.ca
I wasn't aware of a "quiet public" option.

@evan

Yes

In the last hour, even.
