I really wish we had an end-to-end encrypted option where posts are only shared and accessible to people you've added. Some of us don't wish to post our personal photos to everyone on the internet.

Signal lets you post "stories". Not sure exactly how it works because I'm not into that sort of thing, but it might be something to check out.

Yeah I'm the same (not really into that type of posting).

I basically want what Facebook once was, but with e2ee. Something like: you make a post, only people you've added can see it. They can comment, and if they choose, your friends can see that comment also.

Something to prevent mass scraping and data collection, while retaining the 'keeping up with old aquitances' vibe old Facebook used to have.
