You fail to see the harm? Then read any of the top level comments that give extremely good reasons why this is bad.

The change is a very small addition to just looking at someone's comment/post history and seeing if they've posted recently.

If someone knows your username, they can already tell whether you're currently active. A little green dot (or no information if you opt out) doesn't actually change much.

If Reddit had been created with this flag originally, no one would bat an eye.
