Out of curiosity... what would you propose is a better solution? I prefer no status to a fudged status, personally. *edit: From that thread: "Apologies for not being more clear about this point in our announcement. When a user has toggled their status to "Hiding" it means they have disabled the feature. Once you are “Hiding” the presence indicator is turned off and no one will be able to see your online status anywhere on the site. This will not change unless you change it, regardless of what device you use to browse Reddit. . Why did we choose "Hiding" vs "Offline?" Well, you're not really offline even if you've disabled this feature, and we wanted that to be clear in the broader sense of the term. We will have an explanation published in our Help Center detailing all of this before we publicly roll this feature out to everyone."
