Wow. Standard feature of the IRC clients.
What next? Federated instances?
Discord introduces a feature that lets you quietly ignore users without them knowing

discord is a plague

I really, REALLY HATE when the main discussion forum of some FOSS is either Discord or Reddit.

great. can we get actual blocking now? something that people have wanted for as long as the app has been around? 🥲

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 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

That is assuming the other person is interacting in good faith. If there’s one thing the internet is full is trolls.
prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
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.
Feathercrown@lemmy.world 2 months ago
People will use it for ghosting unfortunately

But they could make an alt account if they see you blocked them

This guy doesn’t know I’m ignoring him, and it makes me giggle

You couldn’t do that before? That’s stupid.

this seems basically the same as how blocking has worked for forever so idk
missphant@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
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.

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)
breadcat@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
betterdiscord is pretty bad, try legcord or vesktop
catloaf@lemm.ee 2 months ago
Can you use them on Android?
Dekkia@this.doesnotcut.it 2 months ago
I want there to be a setting.
Sometimes the context of a missing message in a group chat is important.
eronth@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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.
