@boots iirc *replies* already send to the intersection regardless (except for direct, ofc) - not sure about regular posts that start with the other's handle, since i've seen those in my feed before

@boots From my experimenting, it sends a reply to your followers. Which might be silly if you are replying to someone else's follow-only post. So I just switch to direct messages when I'm responding to those, it seems safer based on what I read. It's all new to me though!
