Back to to the issue.
So when not logged in on webcompat.com
There is a 404 status code, which is good because there is no resources here and no link from anywhere on the site to this.
This URI has currently no attached semantics. #1406 proposed to do just that, create a semantics on this URI.
Now as I explained on a call the status code that we receive in an HTTP response is not tied to the body.
Here the HTTP headers.
HTTP/1.1 404 NOT FOUND

Content-Encoding: gzip
Content-Security-Policy-Report-Only: default-src 'none'; connect-src 'self'; font-src 'self'; img-src 'self' https://www.google-analytics.com https://*.githubusercontent.com; script-src 'self' 'unsafe-eval' 'unsafe-inline' https://www.google-analytics.com; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; report-uri /csp-report

.
So instead of the Yikes only, we could have a message saying the same current thing, but proposing people to navigate somewhere to the homepage or maybe the about or contribute page. This is different to what is proposed in #1391 A redirect on a page means the content has moved temporally here or permanently other there. Aka there was something here and we moved it elsewhere. (Like a shop closing, and giving the new address 301 permanent redirect )
This parts seems a duplicate of #877
gives currently a 401 which is also the correct answer in certain cases, but not all. :) See #877 for the details. And indeed would benefit of getting a link to https://webcompat.com/login
There are two spots in
/activity/<user>I see that would be nice if the text was linked, so that you can navigate more smoothly with less effort. (I also see there has been some discussion going on around /activity endpoints so feel free to close if irrelevant!)1) When you try to go to /activity/\ and are not logged in, the "log in" part of the following message could be linked:
2) When you go to /activity/ and are logged in, the "go report something" part of the following message (under "Issues reported by \") could be linked:
Just suggesting because my brain is lazy and wants to look no further than the error message to know what to click next. :)
