My husband says he's not worried about online privacy, as it's an illusion already. But I've kept my post settings as "quiet public" since I got here, and I'm basically invisible. I do have some followers, mostly gleaned from my comments on others' posts or from people I found/follow who returned the courtesy (or curiosity); it's still pretty damned quiet. I post: not a ripple, not a drop. The pond is like glass. Maybe it's me.
I've toyed with switching to public by default, but lose my nerve when I read the definition. After fading away from Facebook in the time of Trump, do I really want to be visible to anyone/everyone on the Internet? Is it even a legitimate worry? I know that the few public posts I've ventured have brought follow requests from those accounts with no profile, and no posts; even as a newbie I know who those guys are (and yes they are, mostly).
Anyone know anything about bonfire?

@AnnieG@mementomori.social valid wondering. I'm usually quite ghostly in internet, but here, in Fediverse, I'm bit more loud. I did think, for a long time actually, think same things but as you've seen, I'm talking. The funny thing is, that before, Meta and such.. I communicated mostly in English but here for reasons unknown to me, i use my first language Finnish.
