Advantages and disadvantages of sending my niche topic posts only to contacts in or interested in that niche; CW: long (over 2,000 characters), Fediverse meta, technically Fediverse-beyond-Mastodon meta, accessibility meta, image description meta, content warning meta, eye contact mentioned, hashtag meta

Possible advantages of sending my posts about virtual worlds only to those of my contacts who are involved in the topic already:
- I won't go on everyone else's nerves with these posts, especially those who don't use filters.
- I won't have to spend hours or days researching for and writing image descriptions which would cause more people not to read my posts than help them understand them. To my best knowledge, none of my connections interested in virtual worlds requires image descriptions anyway. I could greatly increase my image output.
- I won't have to make sure they won't see images with faces or eyes in them unless they explicitly want to. If eye contact triggered them, they'd avoid virtual worlds.
- I won't even have to count characters and warn about long posts. I don't think anyone of them minds long posts.
- I could reduce the number of hashtags because I wouldn't need all those which I use to trigger filters.
On the other hand...
- Only they would ever see these posts. They won't be able to repost/boost/renote/repeat them. If they've got the capability of sharing/quote-posting them, they won't be able to do that either.
- I'd break my track record of almost utmost compliance, over-compliance even, with the Fediverse's accessibility rules. Those who could possibly mind would never know because they'd never see the "offending" posts, but still.
- That is, if one of the recipients managed to break the security, my utterly uncompliant post would be out there, maybe even encountered by someone who actually needs any of my usual accessibility measures.
- It'd feel like weaseling out of my responsibilities as a Fediverse user.
