Example: I post a public toot. Bunch of trolls, fascists and racists reply by setting the reply scope to “followers only”. As the original poster I still get notifications on all their evil replies, but *my* followers that obviously don’t follow these weirdos will *never* see those replies and won’t understand when I feel attacked. As OP I should be able to make sure my followers get the full (evil) picture and also remove these trolls from the reply list.
