@jdp23 I think all we can really do is try to make it clear that "unlisted" opts you out of *mastodon* discovery but is still public information. (I basically never use unlisted for security reasons, only for courtesy reasons like not clogging up the local timeline)

@darius yeah, it's not obvious what to do. On youtube "unlisted" means "not discoverable by a search" so that is probably how. most people think of it.

One thing is for sure, they should be a lot more candid in the messaging. "We don't provide full-text search because it can be used for harassment" is a speedbump but not really a protection. It makes Mastodon seem safer than it really is, so missets people's expectations.
