   Did you know that if you set your post privacy to "public" that those posts will be...public?!?🤯🤯🤯

   This means that anyone will be able to read them at any time and if someone is logged in with a Fediverse account, they'll be able to reply to you.

   You'd think this would be common knowledge using a bit of common sense, however, some here still have a false sense of privacy for some reason.

   If you don't want your posts to be public, only you can change that.

     @DrakkenZero same. However, there's some here that still have an extremely concerning false sense of privacy.😳

     I fail to see how Fediverse is different from the rest of the internet where everything is public...🤦♂️

     Almost all my posts are public. I have very little to hide, and the things that I do hide are generally for the benefit of others, and not for myself. If you choose to peer too deeply into the wizardly abyss, I cannot help you.
