View submission: Announcing Online Presence Indicators
Please please please make this an opt-in feature instead of opt-out. I only stumbled on this post by accident, and would probably have missed it even if it was posted in /r/announcements.
It makes me super uncomfortable that anyone could have been able to track my status had I not caught this post. Sure yes I know the advertisers are reddit's customers, not the users, but this feels outright hostile. We're not stupid, at least be honest with us instead of repeating how you're listening.

Damn y’all are really sticking your feet in the mud with the “opt-out” nonsense. Why don’t you just read what your users are saying and make it opt-in?
Oh, right, because you’re hoping the people speaking are a vocal minority that is not a risk if they decide to stop using reddit because of this.

Yes! They fucking buried this because they know nobody wants it. I only saw this post because r/privacy went apeshit on the day it was announced
