Description
On a big instance, with mixed audience, one maybe does not want to have a status shown to external/guest people, but only internal.
Currently one has to be carefully when setting a status.
So I can imagine
- do not show status to guests at all
- have it as option every time when setting status (similar to "silent messages" in talk)
- have it as user/global option
I somehow do not like to have even more options, so maybe global/admin setting is enough?
