A question from the health side. A few members of our patient support group asked whether "anyone can read the code" means anyone can read their posts. How would you explain the difference to people who aren't technical?

They were worried it would hurt sign-ups. It didn't: 41% of visitors who reached the join page signed up before the change, 43% after. Small sample, so I wouldn't call it a win, but it clearly wasn't a loss.

The bigger change showed up in week one. When people knew only members could see their profile, more of them filled in a bio and posted an introduction.
-
To put a number on the introductions point above: the share of new members who posted an introduction in their first week went from roughly one in five to one in three.
