this is an ax I grind because people need to be aware:
**NO, there is no way to make your posts private so that there’s no way for anyone to see them without your permission.**
Anyone posting to Fediverse need to be aware that by virtue of how this thing is engineered, there is absolutely no guarantee of such privacy.
A lot of people are posting things they think are private when they’re not, and I find that hugely problematic.
