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?

      There are plenty of people who have private accounts on traditional social media sites. You do the math. Why do you think they have the accounts? Assume some semblance of rationality.

      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
