Why are posts marked as Members Only?

We launched this feature more for written updates and not for general discussions.

So want to know the rationale behind marking most posts as Members Only.

Thanku

Wow I didn’t know this was members only post 😮 But I think that’s good. No wonder I didn’t see fights here. Members only should be an option to have healthy discussions without fights. Else all I see is blank posts because how many are blocked.

Thank you for sharing your perspective, but I believe there’s a need to reconsider some aspects of this approach.

1. On Blocking and Privacy:

If someone has blocked you, the system ensures mutual invisibility. If they are circumventing this by using incognito modes or other means, that reflects on them, not on you. Marking posts as Members Only seems like an overcorrection for something that’s not entirely your responsibility to manage.

2. Overreach with Members Only:

The purpose of Members Only should align with its original intent—focusing on exclusive content or controlled discussions. Extending it to most posts can alienate the broader community, especially when it impacts transparency and accessibility for those not involved in these disputes.

3. A More Balanced Solution:

What you’re describing is exactly how the system worked earlier—where the block was one-way, and only the person who blocked someone would lose visibility of their posts. However, based on member suggestions, we moved to the current two-way block system to ensure mutual invisibility.

If this system is being exploited, we might have to revert to the original approach, where the responsibility lies with the person initiating the block to maintain their own boundaries.
