     @JustinH @evan Ahh gotcha. Yeah, I presume Evan’s referring to general publicness of posts. That seems to be a huge downside of Bluesky—which intentionally wants every post, profile, like, and even block to be public, even to nonusers. I can’t see how that’s tenable for a lot of users who currently have their FB/IG/Twitter/etc set to private. Seems like a recipe for disaster in countless ways, especially in the age of cheap/easy AI data analysis.

     @JustinH @evan What do you mean? We already have followers-only posts.

     @rscottjones @evan I meant that those are not encrypted and anyone with an admin account could read them if they really wanted. I realize now that you are talking about something different!

     @evan Is there a choice? I don't see how federation works without it.
