You *wish* that was an option. Only "hiding".

You can Opt-Out any time you like, but you can never leave.

It's called "delete your reddit account". I'm seriously considering it these days.

Apologies for not being more clear about this point in our announcement. When a user has toggled their status to "Hiding" it means they have disabled the feature. Once you are “Hiding” the presence indicator is turned off and no one will be able to see your online status anywhere on the site. This will not change unless you change it, regardless of what device you use to browse Reddit. .
Why did we choose "Hiding" vs "Offline?" Well, you're not really offline even if you've disabled this feature, and we wanted that to be clear in the broader sense of the term.
We will have an explanation published in our Help Center detailing all of this before we publicly roll this feature out to everyone.

There’s no reason for them to allow people to lie about their status.
Correct info or no info are a valid set of choices.

What does it matter? Its the exact same. No one can see if you’re online or not?

It says "hiding" to you, but it appears as offline to everyone else.

And it's right at the top of the options when I click on my username. Can we at least change *that* so I don't accidentally toggle it back on?
