What problem would this solve?

Currently, memo visibility (public / protected / private) has to be set manually for each memo when creating or editing it. For users who frequently post using recurring tag patterns (e.g., many memos tagged #sports that should always be public, or #friends that should always be protected), this becomes repetitive and error-prone. It’s easy to forget to change the visibility, which can lead to inconsistent privacy behavior or accidentally publishing something with the wrong visibility.

What would you like to happen?

I’d like to be able to define tag-based visibility rules that automatically set the visibility of a memo based on its tags. For example:

  • All memos tagged with #sports → automatically set to public
  • All memos tagged with #friends → automatically set to protected

Ideally, this could be integrated into existing "Tag" settings, where I then can define mapping rules:

  • Tag: #sports → Visibility: public
  • Tag: #friends → Visibility: protected

When creating or editing a memo, as soon as a tag that matches a rule is added, the memo’s visibility should automatically adjust according to that rule. In case of multiple tags with conflicting rules, a clear priority mechanism should be applied (e.g., "most restrictive wins"). It should still be possible to manually override the visibility for individual memos after the rules have been applied.
