Mastodon may expose followers-only posts to public. Is it a feature or a bug?
For example, this reply is addressed to the
followerscollection (to) and the mentioned user (cc):https://not-brain.d.on-t.work/notes/admrkcvj3hfn5crj
But Mastodon says the reply is "public". Anyone can view it:
https://neuromatch.social/@kopper@not-brain.d.on-t.work/115343438096255204
#Iceshrimp also doesn't require authorization, but you need to know the post ID to view it.
@kopper Did you know about this?

That is a little odd, and I'd think that is a violation of the implicit addressing conventions...
If
as:Publicis not addressed, it is not public. End of story...Edit: oh, I loaded up the AP resource.
tocontains public, so that's ok. -

@kopper What does it mean? You return different objects depending on who signed the request?

@silverpill It breaks FO, so this is a feature. -

I hate to break this to you, but I'm seeing this on a v4.4.3 #Mastodon instance in my /home only because of the #Hashtag #Iceshrimp you've used, which I #Follow
Don't know if this is good news or bad news, or none of the above

@julian Well, it's public now. But it wasn't when I posted :)

@silverpill One thing that has always been different in Mike's software is that only authorized people can see non-public things. It is of little use to have the right address for the image, video, or file (as instead happens and happened in Mastodon Diaspora and others - almost all of them). In the software created by him, you cannot see even if you have an address/id or whatever you like.

@elvecio Further investigation showed that this wasn't a Mastodon's fault. There was some weirdness on behalf of the originating instance.
Mastodon server received a post addressed to public and I received a post addressed to followers.
