Why is it "post to followers only" when I have no control over who follows me?

I want to "post only to those *I* follow"

@aprrrl could be a "post only to mutuals"? You can't post to people who haven't chosen to follow you. That said...I've seriously considered scrubbing my followers to only people I care about.

@ruth @aprrrl I also thought that posting only to mutuals would have been better, at least when you have a public account.
Also, posting to followers only works for those on the same instance as you, it's a bit broken...

@Fenris @aprrrl @ruth I'd really like to be able to group followers like you can do on fb. The only way to do it atm is seperate private and public accounts. If only my ruby skills were better.

@geekylou @ruth @aprrrl On the plus side, now I rly want to learn how to code, fast!

@Fenris @aprrrl @ruth My old flatmate got along well with ruby and wasn't a good coder so it looks like a not terrible first language to learn. I suspect I'm bad at it cos I'm more used to python.

@aprrrl Yes, that's weird, especially since there's already a separate "Unlisted" privacy setting which is presumably also visible to people who follow you.

Maybe the descriptive text is just wrong/unclear, and it does post only to people you follow?

@tobascodagama @aprrrl Oh oh! I did a Github issue about this. github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/ In case you have an account and want to chip in on the discussion or anything?

Tobasco da Gama @tobascodagama

@cassolotl @aprrrl Sweet, thanks!

Cas @cassolotl@cybre.space

@tobascodagama @aprrrl No problem! :)

Professor Cooldad @dconley

@aprrrl oh holy crap I hadn't realized this

@aprrrl Actually you can have control over it, in the settings you can set your account to private. Then your toots will default to private (but I’m pretty sure you can still toot globally) AND people have to *ask* to follow you, and you can accept or refuse
