things like AMA’s, game day threads, or RPAN streaming
Reddit is nothing more than a forum. These are all asynchronous by definition.
Next lie?

I mean....... I don't like this new feature, and as a moderator, I've already opted out.
But I can see where it might be... very slightly nice on an AMA to see if the person is still online. Right now, I would typically look at the "last edited" time and see if there was a "well, this has been great" sort of edit.
If I wasn't a mod, this wouldn't bother me so much. But having to opt out - and as a mod, any mod is surely going to want to opt out to minimize harrassment and people thinking they're in the clear to shit up a subreddit - is probably the only truly annoying bit.
I might or might not opt out if I wasn't a mod.
I can understand why they want to do these things - to increase engagement and therefore value to investors and advertisers and therefore keep the doors open and make profits.
Still annoying.
But I'm not sure I'd call that list completely a *lie*, either. :shrug:

This benefits users in any way?
This was a requested feature?
