i wish mastodon/activitypub/whatever had a "no boosts" option, the option to turn off replies to a post (as in nobody can attach replies to it, not me not seeing their replies), and a "only show this to people I follow" option. the "followers only" option is fucking terrible

@aeva "mutuals only" would be extremely welcome, but… what's the problem with "followers only?" it feels sometimes useful to me

@glyph it's never the thing I need and when I pick it as the closest approximation visibility option it almost always backfires horrifically because i have 7,000 followers who are mostly not mutuals with one another and they can't see eachother's replies

@aeva @glyph Is that what that "Replies from other servers may be missing" thing is about? I do believe Mastodon is adding finished reply fetching soon, so hopefully that will propagate... eventually...

@pendell @glyph what difference does it make in your mind if the answer is "yes" vs "no"

@aeva @glyph I'm just curious, I've never actually run across this being a problem, every time I've clicked on the link to load the original post it's never revealed new replies to me or anything. Maybe I'm privileged as someone who does not have 7k followers :p

@pendell @aeva yeah I am juuust at the cusp of where this starts to become a problem and it is definitely hard to see even a tiny bit sub-2k

@glyph @pendell it's like gradually turning into some kind of bizarre fae creature. every 500 followers you get a new random geas which is discovered through trial and error

@pendell @glyph hey now I only have 6986 followers ;)

it has it's ups and downs. my alt with 3 followers is a great time because i can say all kinds of batshit stuff and it's like just me and two randos hooting and hollering
