i tag stuff so people who are interested can find it, and so people can muffle it if they want to avoid it. i assume by default, if one's account isn't set to private, that all posts are public and it's okay to treat them as such.
this has caused some minor friction like someone i blocked after they vagueposted about how it was weird i shared a post they made about a life event that i thought trans people would find uplifting. some people don't actually want their posts shared i guess. there's a conflict between how people want the site to work.
i'm pretty used to my posts sometimes escaping orbit and ending up seen by a bunch of people i don't know. to me, posting on cohost is inherently public unless you work to make it not that. that's why i try to not post a ton of personal info or things that would upset people. but i think some people use it more to just interact with a circle of friends and would be freaked if a post left that circle.
A weird thing about the internet is a blurring of public versus private spaces. I think that's interesting. I don't have any solutions or anything. I'm not sure either way if there's a problem even.
anyway idk
