A Reddit size change. The social network announced on Wednesday, June 4 that its users now have the possibility of hiding the visible content in their profile. Something that was impossible to do so far.
The platform will allow them to hide their publications thanks to the new parameter called “Content and Activity”. With this, “users can participate in conversations without their history of publications and comments being visible in their profile,” Reddit said in a press release.
In detail, they have three options. The first, which is the current default configuration, is “to leave all publications and visible comments.” The second proposes to “hide all publications and public comments, including those published directly on their profile.” Finally, the last one allows you to “selectively show the publications and comments of certain communities, while masking others.”
Visible content “in some cases”
Reddit specifies that this customization is available by community (or “Sureddit). In other words,” users can choose the visibility of all their interactions in a community, and not publish by publication or comment per comment. “
However, a user’s publications and comments can be visible “in some cases”, even if you have chosen to hide them, the social network underlines. Moderators will have, for example, “full access” to these contents for 28 days to “continue moderating communities effectively.”
They can also access a user’s full profile when the latter sends them a message, publishes content in their community. Finally, the Redditors can temporarily access the history of a user’s publications and comments if he comments on his profile.
This parameter is one of the changes announced by the platform to provide more control to users about what they want to share. For this purpose, it will significantly gather the profile configuration in the same section. You will find the “Content and Activity” parameter, as well as the NSFW option (not sure for work), which allows you to show or hide these contents not appropriate to work in your profile and the “Subscribers” option to show or hide the number of subscribers.
