the title says it mostly. back when i was on twitter, i could make my account posts visible only to followers. people could follow me if only i approved them. its useful if you want to interact only with family or irl acquaintances on the platform.

I like the transparency to be honest. I'm sure they might implement it at some point, but if you want privacy, why are you on a social platform to begin with?

its kind of hard you know to convince people to use this and that socials. bluesky is popular among the socials i use, so i am likely to find my friends using it as well. i dont use/like facebook, instagram, x/twitter, reddit anymore. i cannot convince all my friends to start using mastodon, pixelfed, lemmy and others. most of us has bluesky installed already
