Redditors in the experiment can turn the disruptive comment collapsing setting off, on, and also select what level their most comfortable with from their safety settings. Right now this is an experiment that a limited number of people will see, but if you want to learn more about the feature and see what the setting looks like, check out the *How does disruptive comment collapsing work?*[1] help center article.

So when I opened Reddit on desktop just now I saw a message that I had been selected for the collapsing disruptive comments experiment. However, I checked my user settings (as the article indicates in the "safety&privacy" tab right underneath "people you've blocked") and the option of "collapse potentially disruptive comments" isn't there?
It doesn't matter to me whether I'm in the test group or not but I don't want the option to be turned on by default because I can't see and/or change it in my settings.

Can you ***PLEASE*** add this option to Crowd Control, too?
Stop trying to decide for us whether or not we want to see a comment.

No they can't. I'm seeing tons of collapsed comments in major subreddits, and the option to turn off the feature is not present at new.reddit or old.reddit. I've checked this on more than one account.
