Discord introduces a feature that lets you quietly ignore users without them knowing
-
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
-
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.
