#Mastodon trust and safety people, I need your help
I'm trying to understand how "Quiet Public" is used. In nearly every UX discussion I have with people the vast majority not only don't understand it, but it actively confuses them.
That doesn't mean we shouldn't have it, but I would like people to at least know WHY we have this. Given you can already opt out of search results w/ a setting, why you wouldn't just use "Followers only" instead?

@scottjenson@social.coop I don't use it to limit searchability, I use to to keep my post out of the "home" feed.
This is especially useful if you are on an instance with a targeted "theme" and you want to keep off topic posts off the home feed.
