View submission: Announcing Online Presence Indicators

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.

Stop lying. You are not announcing it in any meaningful way! This subreddit has 47000 subscribers.

A violation of privacy that can be turned off is still a net negative.

You are in violation of the GDPR **and your own goddamn privacy policy** which both state that users must give active consent to reddit sharing their data.

This feature *must* be made opt-in. There is no valid excuse not to.
