Activity from a year ago should be optional

[cl27]

Does anyone else find it annoying to see one random activity from a year ago in your feed?

This should be optional. Some people might get motivated by seeing what they did on this day last year, but I find it distracting when reviewing my activity log. Some of the are short commutes, which I definitely don’t need to reminisce about. If people want this, they could turn it on, but since it has been added to my activity feed it’s diminished my experience of the activity feed.

It's wild how often it comes up in random conversation that this "feature" is a trauma factory. Make optional please, kinda wild you wouldn't do so from the start, this one feels "social" above empathetic.

Agreed. We should be able to opt out

This year ago thing needs to be removed or at the very least, optional. It is so annoying and confusing when viewing daily workouts. Please fix it now.

I see this is a conversation that originated a while back and just wanted to put it out there that I also would like to be able to disable this feature. As someone who struggled with orthorexia a few years ago, I don't like seeing activities from that time again.

I find this feature quite triggering due to personal reasons and I prefer not to be reminded of events from 5 years ago. Please make it optional!

Well, it has been years since my first post on this item... Unfortunately, I NEVER got any reaction from the Strava team, only comments from people who agree. Apparently, according to Strava, this is not enough. Maybe paying members (like me) should not prolong their subscription, maybe that will be a statement that is noticed by the Strava team.

Said to say, but I am really feeling ignored by Strava on this.

Many athletes want to know how to turn off "activites from one year ago". Many people using strava are working out hard to recover from a personal trauma such as a breakup or the loss of a loved one with whom they worked out in the past. Having "pre-trauma" old activities show up, often with pictures providing vivid reminders of the source of the trauma ranges from unhelpful to just plain cruel. I have seen many requests for an option to turn this feature off, but no response from Strava.

Agree. Should be optional.
