I think post visibility and it all being "one big square" is a part why my social media of preference is pseudo-anonymous chatrooms under a certain size. Even if you use the same identity in multiple chat rooms, they're still separate places.

Posting on fedi feels too much like shouting into the void, and the post visibility doesn't offer fine grained enough controls. Closet like you mention is having multiple accounts. Maybe google+ style circles could be a thing. But also follower-only posts are broken in my opinion; if someone I follow replies to a post by someone only they follow, I don't think I should automatically be able to see their reply. In my opinion the default visibility replying to followers only should make the post visible to people who follow the top of the thread, but this would require followers to be public or the first server acting as a relay.
