or even explicitly noting it as an option for how AFK works for you
one option is 'silent', where if you're marked AFK nothing you get will be flagged as 'read', at all, period
the other is 'monitoring', where if you're marked AFK you still intend to READ but you're not actually going to RESPOND
what we MIGHT need, IMO, is more 'statuses' in this vein
maybe AFK is 'really' nothing presumed read, and 'monitor' is 'probably reading but not replying right now'
