Day 26 of the #100DaysToOffload series:
Twitter's new "feature" seems to be the sincerest form of flattery for Mastodon, with some notable exceptions. Worth keeping an eye on, but so far Mastodon has the better implementation.
@mike Perhaps I am misunderstanding either Twitter, Mastodon or both, but it doesn't look to me like an existing Mastodon feature.
I thought the Mastodon post setting was about posting, e.g. only post to my followers. In which case, only my followers would see the toot and only they could reply.
But if I have understood this correctly, this is different to the new Twitter function which looks to allow me to post to the world, but limit who can reply. E.g. I could tweet so everyone could read, but only Elon Musk and you could reply.
@rw That's a solid point. I was equating whether a tweet/toot was VISIBLE with the ability to reply. So, if that's the case, then everybody could SEE the tweet/toot, but only a select group REPLY to it. That's interesting, and actually a legitimate feature IMHO.
Just the people the OP is following is still dumb though.
