Mastodon: visibility of followers-only posts not retained while replying

[Mohamed00]

Steps to reproduce.

1. Post something as followers-only.
2. Reply to it.

Expected.

Followers-only visibility should be retained.

Actual.

Followers-only replies get set as unlisted. I'm a bit concerned about this, because I think that that could result in a situation where elements of a conversation someone may not have necessarily wanted to have publicly could get out.

I think this is tricky. Your followers aren't the same with the people that reply to your posts. Is it right to make follow-only replies follow-only? At this point, tw blue makes all replies unlisted by default. Maybe a setting should be added to allow a user to make follow-only reply follow-only too.
