View submission: Announcing Online Presence Indicators

View parent comment

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.

Key word : At a glance.. That means that with a bit of work, they can.

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.**

You do understand that people frequent multiple subreddits right ? Who's stopping anyone to check on another subreddit where they are not banned ?

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.

NO NO NO NO. You NEVER force this on people.
