Active Status: Let people see when you’re active, so they know when it’s a good time to call. You can also choose to turn this feature off, if you want to improve your privacy.
Why is calling still a thing? It interrupts whatever the person was doing. And just KNOWING that any one of your 5000 contacts can call you at any time can be very distracting and make you anxious subciously.
What is wrong with async scheduling meetings? And threaded conversations?
I can understand read receipts but online status is silly. It only enables stalking. Why not have people bid for your timeslots and fill up classes and office hours etc.? Everyone would have a happier life.

- EGreg 4y agoPretty sure having to travel to my door is a good filter of effort that is lacking online. I wonder whether the people downvoting me are all guys, or really don’t mind spam.
