Threads has added a new and exciting feature: a green dot that signals when you're online. Meta states it's designed to help facilitate real-time conversations, although many users are unsure why this was prioritized over other more needed enhancements.
Mosseri mentioned the feature as a way to help find others to engage with, but many users feel indifferent towards seeing when someone is online and question its true utility amid Threads' known delays in displaying posts.
User response to the green dot feature has been lukewarm at best, with some highlighting potential privacy risks, such as enabling harassment or stalking, which makes this addition even more perplexing.
While some aspects of online presence may enhance communication, the general sentiment among Threads users points to a lack of demand for this feature over others, raising questions about its implementation.
