For me, telling offline vs online with Discord is near-impossible, so I can only tell user status by digging into the user menu. The other statuses are easier to distinguish, but the bots are so small that I still regularly have a hard time with them. Other people with different forms of colorblindness would have similar issues with some of the statuses.

A useful tool for simulating colorblindness problems: http://colororacle.org

A simple fix could be to make the status icons slightly larger, and use a different shape for each status (for example: circle for online, square for offline, triangle for idle, and octagon for do not disturb).

Thanks for posting the link, though. I don't have time to work on this right now for Discord, though it's already implemented for Slack. Hopefully I will have time to get to it soon.
