Discord introduces a feature that lets you quietly ignore users without them knowing
-
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
-
I don't even mind the 1 ignored message. At least it gives me slight context that people are replying to something. I hate that it gives me the little "new messages" indicator on chats when it's only users I have ignored.
