Should fediverse accounts default to manually approve followers?

@evan the opaque part is that by accepting a follow you are committing to appearing in the public feed on that follower's server from then on, and thus visible to anyone with a web browser anywhere.

@KevinMarks not true at all! You can easily set your posts followers-only, and then they are only visible to your followers (and admins, ofc).

@evan 'easily' is a little overstated there. My point was more that we always have very fuzzy mental models of who the public for a given post is, and how that maps to its actual reach is even fuzzier.
