Wait...so a "locked" toot goes to everyone who follows YOU...and there's no version of the more conventional privacy model where a list of accounts YOU chose sees the post?

@VinnieTesla Look closer. You have four options:

1. Public: Everybody sees it, and it shows up in local and federated feeds.

2. Unlisted: Like Public, but doesn't show up in local and federated feeds.

3. Followers-only: Only your followers get to see this.

4. Direct: Only people you @mention get to see it.

If you only want certain accounts to see it, "Direct" is probably the mode you want.

@starbreaker But the list has to be typed (or pasted, I suppose) in each time, right?
