Mastodon’s variable reply visibility (because of federation) makes it essentially impossible to correct misinfo via replies; I’ve tried, it doesn’t really work.
Mastodon does not have “post public, decide who replies,” which is what I’m talking about. Several much larger networks do have reply-gating for public posts, and they are used for good and bad purposes, like replies themselves, like blocking, like microblogging.
