Make Social Media Profiles Visible for Viewers WITHOUT Logins

I believe that implementing such a thing would be harmful to the safety and security of those of us on PF. The block feature was very much desired and has helped cut down on the ease of those wishing to do hurtful behavior towards others. If people are allowed to view content on PF without being logged in, then it creates a way for them to bypass the block feature. Considering one needs to have a secondlife account to create a PF account, it seems reasonable that you should be logged in to see such content related to SL for the safety of the community as a whole. If you truly do wish to implement such a change, I'd implore you to have the default settings leaving profiles and content viewable only to members logged in, and making it something people would have to OPT IN to to implement. This way, if someone has been a victim of hurtful behavior and happens to be asleep or away from their computer when such a change is implemented, they are still kept safe as a hurtful person will not be able to see their content unless we, the user, decide to OPT IN to such a feature.

I feel this is an easy way around someone being blocked…. plain and simple. Privacy is important, and the service should be secured. If this is being implemented… limit what can be seen. If you want to enjoy SL content, be logged in. Primfeed has SL account linking options already, so there is no reason to publicly make available someone's feed.

Please make this an option in feature. Much like how we can mark our Twitter and Instagram as private. This would make the block function essentially useless because then it can be bypassed by simply logging out.

I understand having this feature for store and event pages would be useful because much like Flickr, we'd be able to link our advertisements to people not on Primfeed. But making it an option in for personal pages is definitely necessary so we can protect ourselves from people we've blocked for a reason.

I think it would be nice if this is optional per user. People suing primfeed who don't blog might wanna have the option (like instagram) to have a more private profile.

It would be nice if this could be implemented, but in a different sort of way. Don't enable it for user pages, but do enable it for store pages. Maybe also allow a "social venues", "live music venues", and "art venues" type of pages, and it could be enabled on them as well. That way users can still be protected, but places that wish to be found and shared easily outside of SL can still do so. I've seen so many posts I'd love to share to my discord server, but I can't because most of the people don't have a primfeed account yet.

Not sure why some people are commenting against this feature. The current behaviour stops us from being able to easily share our primfeed content with friends on Discord the way we can share flickr posts there, with a link which shows the image in the discord post. It is a barrier to fully replacing flickr for people who like doing that, and also a very basic feature that is lacking at the moment.

Blocking someone on primfeed isn't a security feature to prevent stalkers from ever seeing your content. It's to prevent contact between you on your main accounts. It keeps you from having to see their content, and prevents them from commenting on your stuff on their main account. It's dirt easy for them to make an alt in SL just for silently viewing your content if they still want to see your primfeed stuff after being blocked.

You can't stop people from seeing your online content if they really want to see it. And this is too valuable of a feature to not implement just for the sake of trying to keep certain people from seeing what you post. It's still a public forum you're posting to, they're still going to (easily) be able to find ways to see it. Block them to cut off direct contact or if you don't like seeing their posts. Not under the illusion that they'll never be able to see your posts again if they want to.

Hey! This is planned for this year, but I have no ETA about this.

Good idea, but it should be opt-in rather then opt-out or mandatory. Privacy by default. It will be little effort for the smaller group of blogger and business owners to open up their profile while at the same time keeper the larger group's privacy more protected.
