Why can't I make it so only I can see my answers?

You want to hide your previous posts?

Fluther has a setting where you can hide your comments to posts in your profile, and you can hide your posts in your profile, but the actual posts are always visible on the site because that’s the whole point of Fluther.

Are you talking about on your profile? On the right, under Greatest Questions and Greatest Answers you can click on “Hide on profile”. If you click that, others can’t see it. Well crap…I just tried it on one question and can’t undo it. :\

Where can you set it to “no one”?

Huh! I’ve never seen that page.

Yeah, I have to do it in desktop mode on my phone. I have it set to no one, and that hides them from my profile page, even from me.

Remember, the site is almost 19 years old (which is seriously geriatric for these things) and hasn’t had any new development in over a decade. There may be no mechanism in place for such a thing.

I assumed.

Yeah, I’m not aware of that possibility. I get how it would be useful. Maybe they figured it’s easy enough to change the setting whenever you want to see your answers? Still, I don’t really understand why you’d ever not let the user see their own content. Either nobody complained when there was still development, or the problem was seen as low-priority. From what I’ve seen, there aren’t many people hiding their answers in the first place.

@longgone I think it is a “filter / logic” condition.

I don’t there was a “only me” view just everybody or nobody.
