Thank you for this info ... I've been a confused about this cultural difference. I found an explainer and changed my defaults too.
my ref.
"There are also some conventions around these privacy settings that many instance administrators ask users to uphold. For example when writing a thread, the first post can be public, but subsequent ones should be set to unlisted as to avoid flooding the federated and local timeslines with several toots sent in rapid succession on the same subject. These timeslines are for discovery of new users, and to easily start conversations and should be kept mostly clean from conversational traffic. Consequently, replies to public toots should also be sent as unlisted or followers-only (if more private)."
Bird habit creation for the winter continues ... the kids called it the 'wood monolith' after the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season we're watching. (The hope is that woodpeckers will like it. We'll ... see.)
btw bearded iris blooming in November?? so strange.
@maxwell @Scottroby72 this setting may be of interest to you

Hi! I'm Randy Au. I work as a Quantitative UX Researcher, but used to be a data scientist/analyst. I still write a newsletter about data-related topics every week.... Past couple days I've been zooming around trying to help #data twitter evacuate to Mastodon.
After things calm down, I'll find time to talk about my hobby of having hobbies and peeking at other fields. Some topics include #Japanese stuff, gem cutting, cameras and photography, cooking, DIY, woodwork, and more
@Bewickwren Uggh yes. Ours starts tomorrow night & I'm not looking forward to the change.
@trinsec
Bird-watching is so fun and relaxing!
@kyle
We (kids, husband and I) are almost done reading
_Picture This: How Pictures Work_ , Molly Bang, ISBN 978-1452151991
(recommended by a friend for thinking about composition in photography)
And this calendar year, I've been very interested in folktales. The last collection I read was
Henry Louis Gates, Jr. and Maria Tatar, editors. The Annotated African American Folktales. 2017. ISBN13: 9780871407535.
@khimya Congratulations Khimya on your thesis defense!
PGRs (plant growth regulators): anyone with ref.s / info / exp. about using PGRs to dwarf trees in the landscape?
paclobutrazol seems the most likely. Context:❤ Amer. Sycamore, but it gets huge & trunk hollow, not a good choice next to one's home.

I need to get more still. This was my heavy lens w/o a tripod and so that's challenging.
I'm playing around with video a bit. The peanut feeder is very popular! Here's a downy woodpecker, hanging upside down, pecking away.
[Video alt: the feeder is a wreath-style peanut feeder, hanging from a shepherd's hook-style holder. The bird is small & has its tail propped]
