Privacy here shouldn't come with such a painful social cost. You shouldn't have to either choose social isolation, or be forced to accept that your posts will be ingested by shady web scrapers or risk helping a known dangerous stalker identify your physical location.

You should be able to create posts that can be interacted just like the completely public ones, but which are only visible to your followers and maybe their followers, or other group of your choice.

Linux desktop is sorely missing good ad integration. Try to search “how to view ads on linux” and I bet you can't find anything at all. There isn't even a stand-alone app. Not everyone is able/willing to run a Windows VM just for basic ad viewing at the OS level.

Ads in the terminal could work, too.
