Some very good points here! I host a Mastodon server whose users are a small group of close family. We mostly post with the semi-private "Followers-only" visibility since our goal is to share things with each other and not publicly. However, I do enjoy being able to also follow a ton of other open source projects/enthusiasts on my Mastodon feed too! The fediverse has become a very interesting place, but there are some features I think it needs to help it more successfully support its "Private sphere purpose" (e.g. private groups: https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/139 https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/139).
