Make "Activity Information" and "Past Activity" Toggleable

Crimson

I love the activity feature, but this new change feels incredibly invasive. Displaying things like how I'm "returning to a game after x amount of months”, or that I have a “x amount of days streak” in a game, or that I had a "x hour marathon" in yet another game is just weird and not something that needs to be displayed or that I want to be displayed. Also displaying multiple past activities from as active as a couple minutes ago to a couple weeks ago is extremely unsettling. 

I want to able to display to friends what I'm doing for as long as I do it, and when I'm done, that's it. I'm not interested in giving out and displaying a second by second log of my activity on Discord.

Please consider making displaying past activity and the quirky “information” about them toggleable, as now I'm having to turn my activity statuses off completely.

    I completely agree, I just can't fathom that it wasn't brought up in designing an implementing this feature.

    Huge agree. I appreciate being able to broadcast “hey I'm in X game right now”, but I do NOT want people to know exactly how many times I've played X game over the past month, or that I've also played Y and Z game. Just feels super weird.

    I use my activity as a way to broadcast to my friends what I'm currently playing in case they too are interested. I don't feel comfortable at all sharing this level of information.

    Being able to see who's actively playing a game helps users link up with friends to play/join. Users already switch this off for privacy and peace of mind but some leave it on for its potential. This is just going to cause more users to just out right disable detected activities.
    Adding "Activity Information" and "Past Activity" Toggleable might alleviate this going forward
    Option to toggle/disable Disable “Activity Status (Recent Activity)”

    I also agree with this. I like displaying what game I'm currently playing but do not lump this new activity history in as one big setting…

    Either make it a separate setting or remove it entirely.

    I agree this is way too invasive, I don't like this feature. I want to show what I'm doing, not the full detailed log of what I've recently done.
