Suppose you are using Discord. You left the app open for a while and then you decide to take a break and do something else
After you turn off Discord in your tray, meaning the program has been minimized instead of exited, your status will be automatically deactivated after about five minutes.
“Lazy” is another way to tell people that you’re away from your keyboard or your device. When you return to Discord, you need to activate your status. Alternatively, you can set a custom status if you are a Discord Nitro subscriber.
