If Alice makes a followers-only post, and Bob replies to it, to whom should Bob's reply be visible?

@evan
Either Alice's only or intersection of Bob and Alice. There's a reason it wasn't visible to all of Bob's at the start so audience shouldn't be enlarged without Alice giving permission. -
The intersection of Alice and Bob's followers.

@ori so as the conversation continues, fewer and fewer people can see what's being said?

Forgive me if I'm missing something here, but I can't quite square the original poll options with "of course it should be defined by Bob's settings".
My thought was that and / all settings that Bob would ever have for his own posts should be available to him, and the default should be whatever his default normally is.
Essentially, (my view is) the fact that Bob's post is in reply to something else is beside the point: Bob's post is Bob's post, just like any other he'd make.
@jmcclure you're forgiven!
The poll is not mandatory, so please feel free to spend your one wild and precious life doing something different.

Yes. Either you do that or you ignore someone's privacy settings.

@ori *or* you give Bob an option to reply to Alice's followers.

Yes. That's equivalent to Alice setting their post followers only, and Bob setting their post public, but less confusing to the user.
(Edit: realized you hadn't said what Bob's visibility was set to. Anyway: UI quibbles aside, the answer is that you intersect the people who are able to view)

It's also the way most social networks work. If the OP posts privately, all the comments and replies to comments are visible to *all* the OP's followers.
This is how Facebook, Instagram, and X all work.
They let you have private conversations with people that matter to you. It's one of the best parts of those platforms.

Well, you asked what expectations were, and I told you. They're not what you seem to be proposing. Not sure what else to say.

@evan what I'd prefer to make are mutuals-only posts

@ori cool, thanks for your input. I'm not proposing anything, I just think your expectations are really bad for conversations.

@evan I voted “Alice’s followers”, but if Bob marks their reply followers-only, it should be only the intersection of Alice and Bob’s followers.

I would be very surprised if I posted a followers -only note that a non-follower could see.
If I posted a globally visible note in response to a followers-only note, and only the people who could see the original note could see my response, it would make sense to me.

@francina1909 donate che fa bene a voi...e a chi riceve... Perché dopo la donazione a noi danno i gettoni per il distributore automatico per prendere: una bevanda cada, un succo, una brioche, un panino e una bottiglietta d'acqua... In più si è controllati (una volta l'anno esami completi)... 3 chi lo riceve ne ha veramente bisogno. Io ora dono 3 volte l'anno ed un piccolo calo di ferro, ma prima donavo 4 volte l'anno.

@alsivx Il Gundanio di Temu. È un gunpla cinese, ma come la maggior parte dei third party e bootleg da un bel pezzo a questa parte, è di gran lunga migliore dei Bandai.

@francommit Il problema, più per come vengono chiamate, è per come vengono spacciate.

@KSGamingLife Fatto in gundanio ovviamente.

@SparkIT Ecco perché le istanze troppo grandi perdono di senso.

Speriamo non intervenga lo stesso restauratore di San Lorenzo in Lucina... 😂
