To be honest I think that if we cjoose to enable people will get used to it and play around it but also like
there are times where I as town don’t want to be seen as typing

As someone who spends hours writing wallposts i would hate for people to know im typing that entire time and for people to like ask me to post earlier

More details on the exploit itself would be helpful too though since wouldnt most users still effectively be having some threads presence enabled and some not excpet for those who abuse the exploit?

we used to have presence enabled always
it did cause problems for FM games

It was a core feature on old-FoL and a lot of people value the social side of this site and the dopamine hit more than game integrity

which is totally valid - we just don’t want to make a decision without seeing where the community as a whole stands

I turned user presence off everywhere as soon as I was made aware of the exploit

Nobody has any advantage rn

see that’s the smart solution but that didn’t stop spectators from accidentally triggering user presence :joy_cat:

design around stupid people existing
so if you have to pick one then disable entirely

try to get a ‘who is watching this thread’ plugin and attach it exclusively to cookie thread

ok so we want:

  • active dopamine cookie thread
  • actually good fm experience

that’s what my solution optimizes for

I’m no expert but there’s a glitch where disabled likes from one thread interfere with other threads until you refresh

I assume that’s the issue here? I haven’t encountered it myself thoigh
