Apologies, cleary visibility: 'private' in masto (Node.js Mastodon client) doesn’t mean private.🤷♂️

So, today I learned that if you set `visibility: ‘private’` via the API in a post you’re making on Mastodon, the post is public.If you want it to be “private”* (as in a direct message) you have to set `visibility: ‘direct’``conclusion: ‘I love it’`* It’s still not private because it is not end-to-end encrypted.#mastodon #api #private #direct #status #create #API

@cadusilva It’s in the core API so every library likely follows suit.

@aral The visibility: private ; is presented (on the web interface) as "reserved to your followers".While public is : pushed to the public timeline of your instance.

@siltaer Or, you know, “followers”, like it is in the interface :)
