idle
What does idle mean?
On Discord, the yellow-moon status the app auto-assigns after roughly five minutes of inactivity. You didn't choose it — your keyboard just went quiet. Often used as proof someone's actually around but AFK, vs deliberately invisible.
"He's been idle for an hour, just ping him and see if it wakes him up."
