Announcement: Growth Path Timeline!
Hey, all! How are you enjoying trying out the Community Paths? If you’re not familiar with the Growth Path Playlist yet, please hop over to the post real quick to find out what it is, and how you can get involved in creating custom paths!
Since this is a community collaboration tool, we want it to be something you can all share and connect with socially. One fun feature we’ll be adding is a Growth Path Timeline. This will be an activity feed on your bio that displays the steps you’ve taken on the custom paths!
The goal is to bring more visibility to the paths, appreciation for the community's brilliant contributions and allow you to show off all the steps you've taken!
(And if you don't want your timeline to be visible, you will be able to turn it off in your settings.)
This feature will go live this week!
And as always with anything new, we know it'll take some time to get used to, but don't be afraid to experiment and explore! If you need help, either as a builder or user, the Community Team is here for you!
When I first read this announcement it sounded really good. After giving it some thought, I can see a few problems that most people here have already voiced. I thought it a little odd that a site that's prides it's self for being anonymous would allow you to share someone else's entry in 12 different ways. Without the person's permission. It just seems wrong. With the time and date stamps, would you want every member to know everytime you're on here? What if they left you a message and you see it just as you're leaving but don't have time to chat with them. If they see you were on at the same time they messaged, they might get upset. If it's someone with anxiety issues, it might make it worse.
I haven't been a listener here for very long. I'm still learning the law of the land here. I'm a little disappointed to see that no one bothered to allay anyone's fear about these concerns they voiced. Even if there's nothing that can be done or if it's still being worked on. It just seems wrong to not even acknowledge their concerns.

100% this would have been better executed as an opt-in. All the points and concerns brought up in this thread are fair. The focus should be helping members feel heard, and protecting anonyminity and confidentiality.
