View submission: Announcing Online Presence Indicators
If the goal is to have everyone be aware of this new feature and provide them with opportunity to make an informed opt-out decision, then why was this announcement as a whole squirreled into /r/changelog and its limited audience? Why not use the default /r/announcements or, better yet, a mass PM to every user describing the feature? And why has the announcement of this feature going to the 10% Android beta likewise been hidden away not only in a low-traffic sub but as a **necropost** instead of a stand-alone change announcement?
Speaking personally, the only reason I know this sub exists *at all* is because I was trying to find out why I suddenly had an online status light, and the Google search result revealed the /r/TheoryOfReddit thread first (though this is no longer the case, probably because of increased traffic). This sub is so under the radar that even *Google* overlooks it!
There's nothing here!
