Allow posting messages to the public only (and not to friends)?
Closed this issue · 1 comments
Users often report that they don't want to write something and reveal certain things because they're afraid their friends may read it.
Of course, friends cannot identify the author of a post, but especially right now (at the beginning), users are afraid of friends guessing their identity.
This brings up the question whether users should be allowed to select the audience of their messages, for example like this:
Audience:
+ Friends and Public
+ Public only
+ Friends only
Public means that their messages will appear in the global feeds and Friends means that their messages will appear in the specific feeds with a label such as "Friend" or "Friend of a friend".
But this may cause users to select "Friends only" or "Public only" habitually, defeating much of the purpose and potential of the app while there is no rational reason and need to do so.
