I'm the developer of Flamingo. There's understandably a lot of opinions on how exactly this should work, but we believe we made the best decision in removing something that most people rarely use to realize our vision for what a modern instant messaging client should be like. It's an opinionated decision, and we realize that many will not agree with it.

Having manual status turned off by default, but available to enable in settings, shouldn't lose you a single customer. Strange design choice, even stranger justification.
