While I was looking at the cards view of the user directory, which is added by the user cards directory component, I noticed that on user cards of users whose profiles are hidden, the word “joined” is still visible. Since the profiles of new users/users without posts are now hidden by default, it is very easy to reproduce this while being logged out.  
An example is [Discourse Meta](https://meta.discourse.org/u?cards=yes&name=lilly_t&period=daily)

 ![The image depicts a user profile, "lilly_test_user," with zero activity across various categories such as received, given, created, replied, posted, viewed, and read, for the days they were on the platform.
