    I'd like this. Right now the only reason for friends is for group chats or talking to people outside of a server.

    I really need this feature because it's a hassle to have to tab out of games and videos to check if someone has come online. Sometimes it's something urgent, whether it's important or you just have something exciting to share. For some, me included I used to use Skype and MSN Messenger and being notified someone has come online is like a roommate coming home after having been out. For me the biggest thing about Skype and MSN was that, it felt alive. People would come and go and sometimes you'd wanna talk to someone really bad and a notification would pop up that they were online. You'd strike up a conversation, and when you log in those people see you come online and strike up a conversation with you. It creates a good sense of community and friendship.

    I know you care about the experience of your users, and sometimes people just want to read things without having all their friends pile up on them. Maybe they've had a long day or just don't feel like talking. So a good addition to this would also be the option of a silent login for users. This isn't only useful for people who've had a hard day at work. Hopefully that friend of ours that one-ups us constantly or says disrespectful things to us isn't a friend anymore. But if that person is still your 'friend' having login notifications can let those people keep tabs on people they like being shitty to, so a silent login can help people who aren't feeling good because their friend isn't really a friend.

    If these things are implemented it would be good to notify people of the change in some kind of update message that's a pop up during the update process. My memory is incredibly bad, so I don't know if you fetch patch notes and feature implementations while the client is downloading them, but it would be great to do so, so that everyone is on the same page if this is an implementation you make. Look out for the little people, y'know?

    This definitely needs to be added. Plugins designed for this don't work very well.

    The repo in above comment by .PANIC [DiscordStatusUpdates] was last updated in 2017 and DOES NOT WORK- and can cause some client-side issues on your Discord with current versions, don't download / install it.

    Man come on already, what is taking so long for this extremely basic feature?  Could’ve written a mIRC script for gods sake

    I see everyone complaining, but I'm pretty sure there's a way to code a bot or something for this. Gonna look more into it when I find the time.

    I too would like it if Discord had some of the basic features of a chat platform.

    Particularly if I could set notifications on a per-user basis.
