I posted a sarcastic comment as a reply and now I can't find my post. Are people able to delete other people's posts if it is a reply? It's funny because someone replied to my post which I can see but my original post(the reply) is gone.

if you get blocked or the post you replied to is deleted, your post is basically disconnected from everything. if you can somehow get the direct link to your post it's still there.

I think Twitter had them on by default, but the few people I saw on Bluesky posting about it wanted them all off by default.

Can't say I blame them.

Iirc, Twitter required you to be followed by the person you're sending to.

Literally any platform that allows messaging strangers immediately develops harassment and spambot problems. It's the most foreseeable problem in the universe. It's mind-boggling to be the creator of a platform and not understand that.

I should mention the dev who posted the question had their photo as his avatar. Guess gender and skin color!

Twitter definitely let me get a lot of random DMs from bots and spammers who didn’t follow me until I specifically changed that setting.

I just don’t know what the default is now because I refuse to make a new account there.

I follow that dev and he's a good follow - it's a bit naive to ask the question of course but if you have a direct line to your customers why not ask them?

His comments after Jack Dorsey complained about "censorship" (read: actually banning nazis) were pretty good
