@tokyo_0 I can't remember, I think they don't because if someone with a private profile replies to a public post, the person they replied to can't see what they replied if they are not following them. They'll just know there was a reply, a notification even.
So, basically, the way Threads implemented private profiles encourages people to invade your post without you knowing what they're talking about.
