Think of this as a cue for conversational readiness.

Has reddit considered the reason people are on reddit is to be left alone and only interact when they want to do it? Reddit is putting everyone in the position of being pinged/DMd/Chat requested with that little green dot. There are whole accounts that never say boo because they dont want to talk.

This is very much the culture I grew up with on Reddit and I have enjoyed it. Feels kinda nice.
