occultist8128@infosec.pub "followers only" is a concept that is Mastodon specific, and Pixelfed supports it. There's nothing to change at the protocol level itself. Sending the reply to OP in your example would be a betrayal of the visibility of followers only... which is kind of silly but technically correct. Better would be followers + participants, but that's up to the individual implementors to adopt.

j12t@j12t.social awesome, see you there!

quillmatiq@mastodon.social yeah I think I will be! Thanks reiver@mastodon.social for organizing

PewDiePie built his fame and fortune on a centralized platform. I am not certain whether he will see the benefit of a decentralized future beyond dollar signs. Happy to be proven wrong.

pfefferle@mastodon.social only one way to find out

Let's clarify something here. Mastodon follower only posts don't have the "public pseudo user" addressed, do they? That's the important piece that this whole thing hinges upon If it is present, Mastodon is a fault. If not, Pixelfed messed up. No?

why didn’t I think of that myself? Thank you @julian@community.nodebb.org and thank you for this release
