@imanijoy If we had some ability to set policy of "local public" to be limited to the scope of a certain tag we could set when we are doing certain activities, like movie watch parties, that would be cool, and would not interfere in the main feed.

So if we registered certain tags somewhere to be limited in visibility scope, messages tagged with those registered tags would be visible and open to replies only from other people who also registered that tag.

@imanijoy quiet public but which can shop up in searches

@imanijoy

There are times when I read a thread of someone's, where we mutually follow each other, and I get the distinct impression that there are several 'invisible' posts, as evident when an aswer is given, yet I don't see a post containing the question. It happens multiple times in the same thread, so there's obviously a give and take in process, but as a viewer/reader, I never see the entire conversation.

If that can be worsened by adding yet more layers to permissions, I'd vote NO.

@imanijoy

I set my default to match the post I'm responding to. I'm not sure if that's just a Tusky thing but I love it.

@imanijoy by default I expect replies to use the same visibility as the original post tbh

@imanijoy I still don't know what quiet public does

@imanijoy@mastodon.social "Quiet public" behaviour, "Public" semantics (I know thats not currently expressible)

@imanijoy Same as the visibility of the post I reply to. For example: If the post is public, I’d assume that its author wants a public discussion and I’d oblige.
