Go Private? (aussie.zone)

Lemmy 0.19.11 (which I've just upgraded AZ to) has a new feature to allow regular federation, but require users be logged in to view content.

I'd like to gauge feedback from users on this. It will not add privacy, or limit the propagation of posts/comments etc. But it will limit AZ server resource consumption by bots or users that are not logged in.

Thoughts/concerns on enabling this feature?

Update: thank you all for your thoughts and feedback on this. We'll leave AZ as it is, though may use this feature in future if we need to mitigate attacks or other malicious traffic.

I often send links to friends who probably don't have a Lemmy account. Keeping everything visible to everyone would help me.

If there is a reasonable concern about server resources/costs, then I would be willing to give up a little convenience.
