mastodon 

i think mastodon should have a way to bootstrap remote profiles without any posts other than : subscribe to a relay, hope that every profile that every user on the instance will want to look at in the future will be in it, and ruin your global public timeline more than it already was

mastodon 

thinkin about people who say "dont follow me until youve posted some" in their bio, and wondering if they all know what that entails

re: mastodon 

@codl yep, for public profiles this seems like a broken interaction pattern in mastodon specifically. would be better if you could have e.g. tiered subscription/following or a separate actor for "private" posts. no reason we have to exactly follow Twitter when apub supports more flexible patterns
