I noticed that the recent growth spurt of the Fediverse has caused many old-timers to switch the default privacy mode for their posts to "followers only" or "unlisted", myself included.
In my case it is because the increased exposure makes me quite uncomfortable, but other people can have different reasons.
It is interesting to see how it layers the discourse and causes a lot of traffic to be hidden from newcomers, who only see the public timeline.

I've not spent a lot of time thinking about that.
On the other end, you may miss interesting conversations with new persons that have just seen your post about that obscure topic. In other words it kind of kill the serendipity.
