@oddletters can’t you just be on another instance with a different identity?

@oddletters @nancybaym there are a few ways to do this
- different accounts, either on the same server or different servers.
- For some it's good enough to have one account and just turn on follow requests and then make some of your posts followers-only and other posts public
Important to note that there's no way to restrict your posts to *mutuals* in Mastodon, but manually approving followers is a good-enough balm. (I do hope they offer that at some point though)
