Not on purpose š³
But yes, I think it is better. We may lose some UI feedback when posting, though.

I did immediately confirm the post by heading to my profile (if that's what you're talking about)
It's kind of annoying though, isn't it?
Yes and no. With comments moved into an activity feed, having my own posts in the main feed doesn't serve a huge purpose. However if this update doesn't show boosts of my notes in the main feed, I could see that being something more sorely missed.
I only want to see my own notes in a thread if someone has replied to them and I'm reviewing the thread. I don't want to see my own notes in my feed. That's what the tabs under my profile are for.
