   @polychrome IMO, socnets were a mistake.
   IRL, as well as on previous decade's IMs and chats, you see what people are around, consider how much you trust them, and decide what things you're OK telling them.
   But on socnets, there can always be someone who joins later, and can see everything you said before, even without anyone making an archive.

     @polychrome
     Fediverse (mostly Mastodon) promised us we could just be ourselves, instead of managing personal brand. But that's a false promise. Our public posts are visible to everyone, forever. Our past followers-only post will be visible to any future followers. And they will be used against us, if we're not careful what we say.

     So IMO socnets, as they are now, are no good for talking about sensitive personal suff.

     Maybe we could fix them, but I'm not sure.
