  1. If I post on Facebook I don't want, I don't expect, my post to appear on Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube. If I post on Mastodon I don't want my content to go to Kbin, Lemmy, Threads (Meta's decentralized app), or a site/app I never heard of. I don't want my content going someplace that I did not *choose* as a destination.

    I've gotten a number of federation fan boys lecturing me that is what the decentralization is all about.

    Decentralization has been sold as a protective move against corporate abuse. Preventing another Elon Musk and protecting people from anti-user pro-profit policies.

    Mastodon and open source are supposed to be about respecting users.

    I think it should be a user's choice where her/his content ends up. I think it should be in their power to make that choice easily without having to rely on the good will of an Instance Admin.

    I think each Toot & Reply should have the following visibility options.

    1. Public - Everywhere
    2. Private ( only @ tagged people )
    3. Mastodon ( everywhere on Mastodon, only )
    4. Local ( only on the local server of the user )

    Plus a Preference for the user to pick his/her default visibility level.

  2. I guess this feature will allow to discover some other accounts, potentially increasing the number of followers for that account that got its post favorited.

    The most exposure a post has in home timelines, the better chance to meet more alike accounts, related to my interests and to the accounts I follow.

  3. I would like to see some day here on :mastodon: #mastodon an option where you can select to see #favourites from the accounts I follow in the Home #timeline (of course with their permission).

    In other words:

    * Here for me, the user who wants to see the favourited posts made by accounts I follow (pic 1)

    * Here for them (account I follow) who allows his/her/its favorited posts to be seen or not in public timelines ("posting privacy" option - pic 2)

  4. Some ideas about tags on Mastodon:

    - I love following tags, but they can get a little confusing too as sometimes I'm not sure why a message appears in my timeline. Highlighting followed tags in these messages in some way could remind me why I see them?
    - The /following page could add a toggle to show/manage all followed tags.
