Public

So hypothetically, (I'm NOT suggesting this literally, this is for discussion purposes only!)

Prompt:
if users ONLY had Public/Followers only/Private as 'base' post types, how would they be negatively impacted? *Specifically* what types of posts would fall through the cracks? How limited would Followers only really be?

Goal:
There obviously would be negative impact. By discussing how, we can brainstorm BETTER ways of giving them this functionality
