Reddit has introduced new privacy features allowing users to hide their posts, comments, and NSFW content from their profiles, with default settings remaining public. Users can now selectively hide activity in specific subreddits or all public activity, enhancing privacy and encouraging genuine engagement. Moderators retain access for 28 days after user interactions, but the new settings aim to reduce reliance on throwaway accounts, despite some concerns about decreased transparency and potential misuse by bad actors.
X, formerly Twitter, is now allowing paid users to hide their likes on the platform. This feature comes after rival social networks Threads and Bluesky introduced the ability for users to see their own likes. Paid users on X can now customize their profile settings to hide the likes tab, making it visible only to themselves. This adds another incentive to the paid tier, allowing users to like posts without others being able to view them. However, hiding the likes tab may indicate that a user has paid for the subscription.
