If Alice makes a followers-only post, and Bob replies to it, to whom should Bob's reply be visible? -
If Alice makes a followers-only post, and Bob replies to it, to whom should Bob's reply be visible?@evan a related interesting question to think about: if Bob's reply is visible to Alice's followers, and Alice later gets a new follower, should Bob's post automatically visible to that new follower too?

If Alice makes a followers-only post, and Bob replies to it, to whom should Bob's reply be visible?@evan this is a tough one. From a theoretical perspective I'd have gone with "Bob's followers" because each post is a post in its own right and the fact that it happens to have a reply on top shoudn't change that. (Which is also how it works today, right?)
But seeing too many fragmented conversations has made me think that in practical terms it's better to have replies "inherit" viewership from the starting post—i.e. Bob's post is visible to Alice's followers
