Step 1 delete your X account.

Mastodon also doesn't let you prevent people from reading your posts.
The block feature works on Mastodon as it does most places. Lemmy seems to be the only weird place where blocking isn't a fully-featured option.
I can no longer see posts made on a Mastodon instance ran by an ableist piece of shit after I called her an ableist piece of shit, so even Mastodon has this feature.
Correct workflow
This is the first time I'm exploring this, but I think you're wrong.

So post visibility is not something you set per profile, but per post. But you have an effective tool to decide who you let in AND remove on the way.

Right, but you’re smart enough to know it’s the right thing to do. Many aren’t , sadly.
Every time someone makes a blanket demand like 'everyone just get off Twitter,' and I ask why I should, the answer is more or less: 'I don’t like Elon, so I don’t want anyone using his platform.'
I’ve yet to figure out why I should care how somebody else feels about what I do online. I don't like TikTok either yet I don't go around telling people to get off the platform.
