I kind of agree. As I was writing that I was thinking of something entirely orthogonal to both scopes and MRFs: flags. Think flags that do this:
- Display only to followers
- Display on federated timelines
- Display on local timeline
- Display in follower feeds
- Display in profile feed
Would give the user pretty granular control as to where things show up. It would also require a lot of restructuring and I’m not sure it’s worth it. But since it’s brainstorming, we can just make shit up and see what sticks.
