With the about-me no longer at the top, my about-me details are now hard to see. It makes me want to hide my posts, they’re mostly all pretty boring, link lists mainly.
Actually, I just added a button to allow hiding the whole “top posts” section on your profile, since I do think for some users it doesn’t really make sense to emphasize the posts this much.
Oh, huh, it seems pretty clear to me that it would affect everyone (given that it’s clear that your other choices in the same UI element will affect everyone), but I’ll see whether other people are also confused and adjust if so.
(There are two different reasons to hide “top posts”, one of them is that it’s a useless thing when you are looking at your own userpage. The option turns out to address the other reason, rather than specifically this one, but the possibility/hope that it would makes the alternative hypothesis salient.)
It might or might not make sense to have two slightly different versions of the profile page—for the user himself and for others. I often use my profile page to find posts I want to share and also to access drafts. And there are necessarily differences between the views eg the drafts visible for their authors only (the drafts seem to gone in Joanna’s design). But the question then is how a user can see how his profile appears to others. maybe move the drafts elsewhere entirely.

It’s not clear from the UI if “hide top posts” would only affect how you see your own userpage, or also how others see your userpage.

It’s how it effects all pages, but good to know that it wasn’t clear.

We have a drafts page! It’s optimized to be dense:
