If a user of Diigolet wishes new bookmarks to be private, that privacy must be set every time a bookmark is made.
Users may overlook the setting. The likelihood of user error is greater when a user is busy or distracted.
Publication of something private is an accident that occurs too easily, too frequently in Diigolet 3.1b506.
Suggestions
1. For a new user's first bookmark, Diigolet should default to public.
2. For a new user's first highlight, Diigolet should default to obscurity.
3. Diigolet should allow the user to prefer obscurity for new bookmarks.
Implementations
[√] 1. is current behaviour.
[-] 2. is close to current behaviour but the expression is different. (Expression will be a separate topic.)
[X] 3. is not possible, the introduction of this feature should be prioritised.
Rationale
Any issue that involves lack/loss of privacy should gain priority attention.
The user error (PEBKAM) element should not detract. Wherever a Diigo UI allows the user to too easily make such errors, leading to lack/loss of privacy, that aspect of the UI should gain priority attention.
1 ) +hightlight w/o bookmarking 2 ) + hightlight + private sticky note 3 ) +bookmark set to private 4 ) +add more hightlight + 1 private note +1 note to diigo community 5 ) + hightlight + private note
NB: Each time I selected right-click 'highlight and stcky note'
If we all see the same thing, only the last highlight is visible on Diigo community not not the note. This means that all highlights done on a bookmark once shared is public (and sent to all shared groups I imagine(?))
When I add private notes after sharing a bookmark, I allways set the bookmark and notes to private... so only the notes are private but not the highlights.
That means each highlight needs privacy settings too.
/ Diigo Community/ Diigo service should allow obscurity/privacy by default for Diigolet, Post to Diigo and other scripts

need not require any preference-setting elsewhere.

This is what I see in my library
And this is what you see at Diigo Group
What do you see on the Meta page or Diigo forum?

That means each highlight needs privacy settings too.
