View submission: Announcing Online Presence Indicators

View parent comment

As my other comment cannot be seen because the comment thread got nuked, I'll restate it here:

No matter how many times you say this, that is NOT opting out. Making it so I have a week to change my status to: "Hiding" (Great name by the way, automatically has a negative connotation to it) still has me in the pool of presence status for everyone. This is not a good feature at all.

This makes it so much easier to harass people. To watch people's browsing habits. To annoy mods. If I can't make it that you can't even see a dot next to my name ever, I'm still opt-ed IN.

If this is to help small communities, they can all opt-in to make their small community better, not FORCE every user to hide if they don't want to show their status.

And finally, this should be on r/announcements. I only found this post because I didnt know what that random green dot was that said online when I moused over it and searched for it on r/blog and /r/announcements and tried /r/changelog as a last effort.

Wait, Reddit users that don't opt out within the week will have a permanent Online status?
