Does slack desktop go offline when the user is inactive for 30 mins?
1 project | /r/Slack | 13 Sep 2023

Hi, I have been using slack on my company provided mac and I have installed https://keepingyouawake.app/ to keep my macbook awake indefinitely. When I keep the slack application open for so many hours, I can still see the green dot on slack and it has never marked me as 'away'. So, I'm wondering if others can see me as 'online' if the green bubble is showing up on my slack application for so many hours?
