It's basically a dark pattern to call it hiding instead of offline.

I cannot think of a single reason why I’d have it on even on the examples they used I wouldn’t want it. It should be default off.

At least this one was easy to opt out of, not hidden away (if you don't use old reddit).

Yup.
This is it. I'm deleting my account after 7 years on this site. The admins priorities are beyond fucked up.

That's the funny thing too I can't imagine anyone in any sort of in-house testing phase just not opting out immediately and then some lead going "yeah everything seems to check out let's roll this baby out they'll love it!"
Like I just think anyone leaving this on does so on accident or due to ignorance, and will turn it off the second some asshat calls them out on not replying or not doing some mod task while online.
