View submission: Announcing Online Presence Indicators
This is an important call-out and is something that we’ve thought about and discussed further during broader discussions with moderators. These indicators are currently not planned to show within the mod list, so users will not be able to see at a glance if all mods are online.
This would be useless, like the users that harass us don't go to any post that we make anywhere to do that...
We’re building out several safety features that we’re aiming to have ready for the general audience launch that we hope will address several of the things you called out. One of these features is making it so that users who are banned from a subreddit will not be able to see the online status of users within that specific subreddit.
Wow, like ban evasions don't happen so frequently that there are people that confessed being banned from some of our communities in dozens of different accounts...

I would love to know who the hell are these moderators that you guys talk with before making these decisions that are so damn terrible. Probably not any of the ones that asked for you guys to help against harassment, doxxing, ban evasions, etc.

Yes - this will be turned on by default and that’s a large part of the reason why we’re announcing this in advance and why we made the opt-out process so easy. We want to give everyone the chance to opt-out of this feature before we make the presence indicator public-facing.
Because of course a post in /r/changelog(that has less subscribers than most of our communities) is a really public way to get everyone to know about it...
Also you can only deactivate it on new reddit, that most mods of larger communities don't want to use because it is terrible and heavy.
And of course the post in changelog is very informative because we that moderate non-english communities will always have a complete understanding of english...
There's nothing here!
