Seeing your mutual replies on 'followers only' posts in Mastodon (or ActivityPub in general) really confuses me. Unless you need to follow that particular person to see their main posts (which is weird or unethical).
They should've put a warning on the main/parent posts that this post is for their followers only.
No wonder why some people get confused seeing some replies from their mutuals that's out of scope or context.
