• Public
  Unless you changed it in the settings toots will be public by default. Public means everybody can see your toot on your profile, in public timelines and - if they follow you - in their home timeline.
• Unlisted
  When you post an unlisted toot everybody can see it on your profile and followers can see it in their home-timelines, but it won't be displayed on public timelines.
  People can boost your toot, but the boosted toot will follow the same rules.
• Followers-only
  Only followers can see that toot on your profile and in their home timelines. The toot can not be boosted.
• Direct
  A direct message can only be seen by people who are mentioned in it. You can add more than one people to a direct message. If you later on add more people to a direct conversation, they will only see the new messages, since they are mentioned.
