Should I keep making my replies unlisted?
Generally, I think transparency is better for a community, so I think it is better to make everything public unless you need something to be private for some reason.
@Pat Interesting. I see it. Do you happen to know if this is a general Mastodon thing or is it qoto-specific?
Sorry, I don't even use it myself, so I don't know. 
@peterdrake
I think there is a way to shut those off in your home feed and only show original toots.
