We are getting many reports that the default toot privacy is not what users expect.
The algorithm to determine what is set when starting to compose a toot works as follows: When the users account is locked, always default to "private". When not replying, default to the last used setting. When replying, use the same setting as the replied-to-toot, or the last used setting, whichever is stricter.
So our question is: Is this behavior buggy or do you not like the behavior?

@Tusky I would very much prefer that the privacy on replies default to whatever the post you're replying to has.
