Honestly I think that the online monitor, once working, is somewhat a private feature. I mean, you should maybe only allow it for your contacts, for those not wanting random people to monitor them if that makes sense. Seems like some stalking feature to me not many other platforms have, if they do correct me. And it is also nice, don't get me wrong on that but I was thinking, what if I don't want to be monitored by user A or B without knowing?

same for private messages tbh. I think it would be useful if you could select who can send you pms, like, everyone, my friends, noone.

can we see who is monitoring us

No? That was exactly why I brought this up

Meh, they can monitor me all they want, it's not like they will be able to watch me take a bath or something like that. :D Some people are entirely too paranoid. But that can also be a Viking thing, you know, the lone wolf of the sea and mountains, and all that... :D
