    You don’t deal with this by taking away features from people mate. You deal with this with A) Effective moderation B) Decentralization or C) Being picky about who you let in It’s just a dot, it won’t change anything. It takes more to remove a dot from profiles to deter stalkers and harassers. Harassers will just assume you are always online, and stalkers will figure out when you are online and when you are not by looking at your posts, comments and upvote/downvote history.

        Nothing, it’s just a damn dot. It’s worthless. I’m compeletely indifferent about it. There are a lot of things to hate on Reddit privacy wise, but this dot isn’t one of these things.
