You can also choose to show no posts at all on the web view of your profile. This allows you to write posts without having to worry about scrapers, rubberneckers, and other nosy parkers visiting your web profile and looking at your posts.
You can also choose to show no posts at all on GoToSocial's web views. This allows you to write posts without having to worry about scrapers, rubberneckers, and other nosy parkers visiting your web profile and looking at your posts.
This setting only applies to the visibility of your own posts. Other user's Unlisted posts are never shown.
This setting does not affect visibility of your posts over the ActivityPub protocol, so even if you choose to show no posts on your public web profile, others will be able to see your posts in their client if they follow you, and/or have your posts boosted onto their timeline, use a link to search a post of yours, etc.
