Egh, once again I find myself wanting a visibility setting between ‘followers’ and ‘mentioned-only’.

Yes, I could do follow requests, but actually, even if I did I'd want to accept most of my followers anyway.

Essentially I'm looking for a ‘mentioned-only++’ that implicitly includes a curated subset of followers, without having to notify them, which avoids the icky-ness of mentioned-only==dm but still with a more intimate audience.

Until then, I guess I'll continue over using mentioned-only.
