On Smalltown, site staff can see followers-only posts even if they don’t follow a user.
On Mastodon, if site staff aren't following a user, site staff can't see a user's followers-only posts. Site staff should be able to see all posts that aren’t direct messages. Just because a user is restricting posts to their followers doesn’t mean they aren’t speaking to a large audience or are incapable of doing harm. Twitter and Facebook can see my posts, even if they are marked as followers-only. Site staff on Smalltown should be able to as well.
Site staff can go to any user’s profile or the public timelines (Local and Federated) and see posts marked followers-only.
