Invisible Status Mutes the Notifications Your Friends Recieve
Answered
I'm newish to Discord. I joined in around January or so. The first time I put myself on Invisible, which was recently, I thought "Oh cool I can access Discord, still get messages and do everything." But that's wrong and misleading.
It took me two to three searches, after a moment when the person I needed to access during a very bad time was not there because of the Status, to find out that the Invisible Status mutes notifications of messages you send to your friends/people in DMs. This means your friends won't see any notifications from the messages you send. At all.
Why is this information not put in the description in the part where you change your status? You can't actually access all of Discord, that is misleading.
At the very least, have the information available there. Don't make other people go through what I did when they needed a person to respond and because information was not available, they didn't get it.
You could also have a toggle setting for friends or strangers to reviece Notifications from you when you're set as Invisible.

Invisible status shouldn't mute anything, this is either a bug. Or the person you needed was actually offline or has muted Discord. 2 -
It actually doesn't mute the notifications, your friends just ignoring you. Tough luck bud.

(To username depressed.exe:) Wrong. Read here where is says no dot on friends' screen: https://discordia.me/user-settings

(To username TheFutureKnight) They said they got no notifications and the only thing that changed was my status.

(To username depressed.exe) Far more likely it was a bug, don't assume you know my "friend." When they are much more than a "friend."
I used friend as the term for on my friend list.
Edit: I'm sure that's a possibility for others, and me if the "friend," was somebody else or another friend, but your comment on that possibility has no place here. It should be about the technical side of it.
Which means either a) a bug or b) one of his or my settings caused it. Or c) both.

Wasn't an assumptions, was a guess or you can call it an option.

TheFutureKnight, I edited to clarify who I was talking to. The assumptions comment was not to you.

Alright, btw I read the site you included and from what I saw...
"Invisible - Displays you as offline to everyone else but you still receive desktop notifications and have full access to Discord. offline on your own screen, no dot on other users' screens (since you’re displayed as offline)." So where exactly does it say you don't get notifications?1 -
TheFutureKnight, I read the dot as meaning for notifications because the invisible one still shows a dot as a status - it's just grey. But it's far more likely that they meant status dot now.
Edit: In my hurry to find the issue that caused the lack of notifications, I searched as much as I could within a short amount of time, this was all I found on it muting notifications, as I misread anyway, since the status appeared to be the only change within that time.

When he comes online, I'll find out if it's something on his end or mine. If it's neither and a bug, where do I go?
