User's content privacy settings

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently all the articles and comments are being fully available to anyone in the web. I guess some users would classify some of the his/her information in DEV (especially comments) personal and probably would want to hide it from absolute strangers.

The initial idea of the feature comes from Twitter (see below).

Describe alternatives you've considered

Tho, in reality I couldn't imagine the forth case - articles as private and comments as public.

Additional context

Sorry for not using fonts and styling of DEV, it was not my intention.

Thanks for the request @madarsbiss

This is tangentially related #8212 though I think it's a slightly different request, so I'll keep both open for the time being :)
