honestly if fedi had better post visibility tools I'd probably just prefer merging accounts instead of separating them
most of it is just wanting to distinguish who can view private posts (allowing public-only followers) and having a mutuals only setting that also respects such a list (not considering people subscribed public-only, who I follow, as mutuals)
I know GTS has some of this but also it would need client support too
@clarfonthey I'd love to see something like what Google+'s circles were, with GtS-esque reply controls.
