FWIW if this actually happens it's more likely the act of sending the message has made the server realise the user is no longer online.

It's inefficient borderline impractical for a server to send a frequent ping to every single user to check they're still online, usually it waits for them to perform an action within a certain timeframe and if they don't then either send the ping to see or just decide they're offline/away.

If you send a message that doubles as a ping to check

Haha nice try but I’m pretty sure that every single thing I witness is evidence of my (lack of) worth as a person

I once sended my mom a message when she was in the hospital, and instead of reading it, she rather fucking died. I don't even remember what self worth is.
