why bluesky does not have private account feature? (lemdro.id)

the title says it mostly. back when i was on twitter, i could make my account posts visible only to followers. people could follow me if only i approved them. its useful if you want to interact only with family or irl acquaintances on the platform.

There was just a post last night complaining that Bluesky had exactly this feature. Maybe it was only requiring a logged in account, rather than fully private. I am not a huge fan of Bluesky/madtodon/shitter, but it is the only place some of my friends are after I left meta.

just saying, im not that person reposting from another account. all i want is switch to decentralized or federated platforms and still connect with friends. i dont want my posts seen by strangers

It seems more the level of control Friendica gives you, plus you can post to your Bluesky account from there.

I was not saying you were, but rather that someone was complaining about exactly, or close, to what you want. I likely would post more there too if it was private.
