View submission: Announcing Online Presence Indicators
How is this in line with GDPR? I'm almost certain an online indicator is personal data, at least it might be feasible to track this flag targeting a specific user and draw conclusions. Do you disagree? How certain are you an explicit opt-in is not actually required by law in European countries?

It absolutely is.
As soon as this becomes a publicly-visible piece of data, *someone* is going to get a bot going that can track it 24/7.
