In that specific case, there’s no point of following a private account if it doesn’t follow you right? Unless you can do public notes too ?
In Twitter, you could toggle the account public/private. Or you could Tweet individual notes to your follows. Like, a photograph, or something. Or if you want to write something more personal.
Could be an account setting or a note setting. 🤷♀️
Never tried those features on twitter. I can see the added benefit though. I wonder if there would be the same issue as with DMs where the note itself would be encrypted but not the metadata
