   Hey, all. Very interesting! I am disappointed but not surprised that so few people use Followers Only; it is an excellent feature on most social networks and very broken on Mastodon.

   I'm also disappointed about "quiet public". It's the type of experience a lot of people who post Public seem to want, but it's confusing enough that maybe a lot of people don't use it.

   Anyway, I'm Public, Quiet Public (default in reply to someone who posted QP) and Private Mention.

   Thanks all who replied.

     @evan This means both features are not clearly explained. I honestly have no idea what "quiet public" means and I've been using fedi for 5+ years. Maybe it deserves a better name?

     @evan Precisely my point. If people don't understand it they won't use it. We need a better joke!

     @fabio I think making replies to followers-only posts go to the followers of the OP would help tremendously.
