Maybe I'm missing something, but I've found it very strange the concern over this change. I mean, it's only for public posts, which they could see if they just logged out or switched to a burner account anyways? Like, if it let them send a message or comment on posts, or see posts for followers only or something, I'd see the issue, but it doesn't seem like that aspect of the feature was all that meaningful anyways. Am I wrong?

I mean I assume if it's a big public priority of melon-musk it's probably something terrible, so there must be more to it than how I'm understanding it currently.
