Discord introduces a feature that lets you quietly ignore users without them knowing
-
better yet use shelter which never breaks
-
legcord includes shelter
-
aye, I suppose that's useful
-
Well. you still see the blocked message, just not the contents of that message. They can also still see your messages, they just can't react with emotes. This is just feedback I've seen from people who use the feature, as some people (not necessarily me) take issue with these things
-
They did test it at one point. I got the test. Honestly, I didn't like it--- seeing gaps in conversation that I can't click sucks.
-
I want there to be a setting.
Sometimes the context of a missing message in a group chat is important.
-
I don't think this is a good feature. If you're going to ignore someone, own up to it and let them know, don't let them in the dark
-
This guy doesn't know I'm ignoring him, and it makes me giggle
-
Yes, that’s a healthy way to handle normal interactions.
However if you are being harassed by someone you don’t want to interact with them.
Often times blocking informs the other user which has been shown to just make people resort to other means.
There is practical application of not responding being better in some situations.
In normal human interaction, be good to each other. Ghosting is awful.
I don’t think this is intended for ghosting people though.
-
I've been blocked a time or two on discord. I don't remember the exact message, but it matched what you would see if you tried to message or add a user who didn't exist. I could tell from context that it was a block, but if it hadn't have happened mid conversation I would have thought I got the username wrong or something.
I haven't been blocked in quite a while, so this may no longer be accurate.
-
People will use it for ghosting unfortunately
-
It's still accurate
-
That’s fine.
Those people suck and you didn’t lose anything.
-
But they could make an alt account if they see you blocked them
-
I will also maintain that systems that block someone from seeing your message are simply a way to amplify eco chambers and universally bad. Nothing like being blocked and not being able to respond to a whole chain of comments or they do one witty (wrong) zinger, and block so you can't reply, etc
-
Way too many apps implement a hide/mute functionality and then call it a "block".
If I block someone, I don't want to simply hide their messages from my view, I want them to not be able to see and interact with mine. It should be a restraining order, not just sticking your fingers into your own ears and shouting "LALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU" while they continue to shout slander to anyone passing by.

I've been using vesktop for a while an had never heard of Shelter before
It is developed by ex-members of the old Cumcord Team, under uwu.network. - Shelter
Interesting
-
interesting. I still prefer installing Shelter alongside OpenAsar tho
-
I really, REALLY HATE when the main discussion forum of some FOSS is either Discord or Reddit.
-
it also includes openasar
