Quite right. I think the issue is that the feature is not implemented in a way how people would expect it to be implemented.

They are assuming that it’s basically like using Iroh to show when you’re online generally.

I honestly think the confusion would clear up if the feature was just implemented [using Iroh](https://support.delta.chat/t/wider-usage-of-iroh/5353) (along with typing indicators) and then just make _that_ optional (can be disabled).
