Yeah, nobody wants presence features. I think it's especially annoying on Discord, because nobody cares which anonymous subset of 1000 users is currently sleeping or awake or has their screensaver going. Most of my friends type at me while they're "offline". Uh huh. (The reason is "I'm avoiding someone", which indicates that the feature is only for evil.)
Slack isn't as bothersome (it doesn't seem to try to detect "stepped away from the computer for 5 minutes", it's just "closed the app for the day" or "has the app open", which is better than Discord), but it's a feature that should totally go away.
Slack's "z" indicator for "outside of work hours" is fine. I will note the irony behind switching to Slack only to have Slackbot send them a "electronic mail" when they get back online ;) If only there was some other system that could send messages to users and have them read them when they feel like it.
