Conversation

I'm unsure how, and it seems others are as well, to write a toot that behaves like a reply, but starts the conversation. On Twitter you can do this by starting with the user id, but it seems that Mastodon still includes these as Toots in your timeline and sends to all followers.

Seems like "unlisted" isn't what I want because I'm fine with it showing up in my "Toots & Replies" on my public profile. But I'm not sure how to make it behave the way I expect.

Help me Mastodon users!
