Discord introduces a feature that lets you quietly ignore users without them knowing
-
Wow. Standard feature of the IRC clients.
What next? Federated instances?
-
discord is a plague
-
You couldn't do that before? That's stupid.
-
But it still says "1 ignored message" when they say something. I want it HIDDEN ENTIRELY, Discord!
-
It's called plugins, and it's great. Technically you are breaking ToS when using them, but there hasn't been any crackdown (the betterdiscord team did remove the more 'risky' mods like messagelogger from the plugin store)
-
great. can we get actual blocking now? something that people have wanted for as long as the app has been around? 🥲
-
Can you use them on Android?
-
betterdiscord is pretty bad, try legcord or vesktop
-
revenge is the only up to date android mod I'm aware of currently. there's also aliucord but it's running an old build (which might be to your taste!)
-
this seems basically the same as how blocking has worked for forever so idk
-
Just know that aliucord is experiences some repetitive crashing issues right now. Seems the devs aren't fixing the current app and downloader as they have a new downloader in an early beta. Seems their solution is to just get the new downloader for now lol.
-
It was fairly easy for someone to know you blocked them since they wouldn't be able to react to your messages or suddenly couldn't dm you anymore, I assume that won't apply to this.
-
i'm curious, what does the current blocking fall short of?
-
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
