"when there's already the option (standardized in Activitypub) to limit the visibility of posts to followers only."
I don't think it's really fair that, if you're a marginalized person, you have to choose between being able to reach a wider audience, and staying safe.
As a straight white dude, I never have to worry about that. It's always safe for me to post publicly. I think everyone should enjoy that privilege. (Among many.)
