i hate that follower-only posts made by me still have the boost button enabled. it makes me panic that i chose the wrong privacy setting. i don't know what "boost to original audience" even does

@typhlosion You can boost your own followers-only posts, but other people can't, don't worry

@Felthry well i'm aware of that nooow. it used to be that the boost button was disabled even for me, so that's still what i instinctually look for when i post something followers-only. i haven't retrained myself on other signals, like the padlock in the corner of the post

@typhlosion ohh, okay. that might have been before we joined that it was disabled even for the poster
