Feature request: Per server status

Vieuxthon

First of all i would like to mention this feature has already been requested. You can find the posts here: most upvoted post, other post and post about per server invisible status.

You started to debate here about a server option to revert from invisible presence to dnd

The new invisible mode far from perfect and a way of making it better could be to create a server setting to stop users from being able to display them selves as offline and instead revert to "Do not Disturb"
However it seems clear now that it may not always be privacy-friendly.
But sometimes you may want to take some rest and appear as invisible or dnd on servers you're often active on. With the way status are implemented today you will have to change your status and the friends you may want to talk to will see the same status (invisible or dnd)...
That's why i'm suggesting a new way to manage discord status (and this new status system could also be used to respect the rules of servers like "no advertising in custom status")
 

TL;DR

It could look like this
 

Details

You could create "status targets" and add servers to these targets to change your status for a user-defined list of servers. This may also be implemented for your profile depending on who sees it (friends or non-friends)

I understand that a new way to manage status has to be compatible with the previous one so that users who don't want to manage their statuses can still change them globally. That's why you would have a "Main status" that applies everywhere there is no "status target" that applied.

You could also find the status targets settings in user settings for users who want to manage them without opening the new-status-dialog. As suggested in other posts, a nickname management could be found on the same user-settings page (and could even be changed with status targets).

LiBa suggested here a way to integrate per-server statuses to the current status system
