a draft here basically works like a youtube unlisted video
meaning you could use them for patron-only benefits
or stuff you don't want to clutter up your timeline
just post a bunch of stuff in drafts, then link it from a single pinned public post

yeah, we intend to provide a better solution for patron-only benefits than this once we have subscriptions, but there's a lot of good uses for hidden drafts
I imagine a "publish unlisted" option would be nice to keep such posts separate from actual drafts, but that sounds like an amount of extra engineering work for small gains. this is pretty cool!
this is kind of what I was thinking - not super intuitive that, ie, accidentally sharing a link to your draft would actually let somebody else see it if they navigated to that page
I see a header on all draft posts in my drafts page as follows:
This post is a draft. It's not publicly visible, but you can send people links to it.
I think this explains it pretty well - so while potentially unintuitive, if everyone sees this, I think that's at least mitigated. Would still be nice to have an explicit "posted but not on the timeline" state though!
