Just noticed that it shows people who have been on recently although some of them don't have a green dot. So what's the point of trying to be anon if everyone knows you've been on. Doesn't seem fair to you.

It's a complete contradiction to privacy and the green light being turned off. 🤦‍♀️

@Magenta your welcome you summed it up in a few words

No one even wanted that feature in the first place. Now it’s actually taking away other features. So all it’s done is make the site worse. I’m not surprised though. This wouldn’t be the first time they just made things worse.

@Reject true. Yet your forgetting I mentioned "within constraints."

They simply can't run any site without making a profit. It's that profit that makes it their site.

Sure they will take suggestions. Yet only in certain places and times. And even like I mentioned under constraints.

Heck you can no longer tag them without a warning shown saying they are not likely to answer. That's a business decision. Their time is valuable.

What happens when a business gives away everything? It goes out of business!

You're only thinking on the user end. Not the business end. It's the business end that they were FORCED to rearrange the cotton picking groups that so many hate!

These images are no different! It's there for them to increase their profits. And why it can't be turned off to begin with. They could have easily done so while they were implementing them.

@DeWayfarer You know what makes a business successful? When they turn a profit without telling everyone that’s what they’re doing. If anyone needs to cry about considering the business end such as you are, then your business is failing. Which brings us back to original point. People aren’t enjoying the site. You’re contributing to that.

@Reject that statement is conflicting with itself! Because I'm not the one complaining!

No one even wanted that feature in the first place.

It's the dumbest addition I think they've come up with yet.

Yeah it tries off set it a bit by leaving people who were online recently up a while. The green dot will switch off, but the profile still stays there a good while afterwards. Basically with the green dot switched off all of the time, you'll always appear to have just gone offline and it might be lets say a 50/50 if you are actually online.

That said I can pick at what the chances are you're online right now this very second all day long it still doesn't change the fact it's directly highlighting you when you're sorta wanting to go under the radar. I mean people will contact you for one reason or another who'd of never even thought about it until you suddenly popped up on their picture feed one day directly in front of their face lit up like a Christmas tree, lolz.😅

So yeah I really don't get it why they didn't just it make it green dot off, you don't appear on the feed and have done with it. Maybe even have the option to switch it off, and then you don't appear on it, because well you ain't using it, or whatever.🤷

The green dot is for online. No dot but appearing in the top bar means was online very recently. Right?
jake60 · 61-69, M
@WandererTony yes it means that they were online recently. But some of them never have a green dot

@WandererTony As Donald Rumsfeld would say. We not only have the Known Knowns but also the Unknowns are Known.
WandererTony · 56-60, M
@KiwiBird This is a bit more than what he said! 😅
Why do they have the privacy settings 😂
They wanted to do away with your ability to hide the fact that you are online with your dot off... so they gave us a wanted line up.

Technically with VIP you can see the last time someone's been on anyway.
Top bar is mostly just people you interact with I think right? Like if you look at someone's profile and go back to the feed, you'll now see their name is up there (well, sometimes. I'm not sure how that works nevermind). I missed the admin post when they announced this feature if there was one.
DDonde · 31-35, M
@Reject Yeah a lot of times it’s just one for me now, especially when using my phone
@DDonde There was no announcement...
DDonde · 31-35, M
@HootyTheNightOwl I suspected as much
