  couldn’t people just stalk without being logged in?

  Yes, you can. That’s why it was even dumber.

    There a lot of reasons to hate Elon. He’s making new reasons every day lately.

    A lot of people hate him for completely bs reasons like this though and then come off as hating anything he does just for the sake of hating him.

    No one on Lemmy is upset about this. It only provides them an opportunity to increase their hate boner for Musk.

    I created a filter to block all posts with “Elon Musk” in the title. It appears I have some updates to make.

  You used to. Not anymore. Musk made it so that if you try to view somebody’s profile, and you aren’t logged in, you don’t see anything except for a big box asking you to log in.

  Also, it’s not so much about stalking per se, but being able to reshare posts (and thus bully) their targets. The way X is right now, they’d have to have a direct link to the post in question and then screenshot it.

    I see. Guess that explains why back when reddit changed their blocking to this way people complained
