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
Why?
You think it’s good to let someone just talking to themselves without warning. You don’t do that in real life, why would it be ok in the internet? Just let them know you left, don’t waste anyone’s time. Everyone talks about transparency but then are ok with being sneaky little fucks (sry can’t think of better word) when it’s convenient.
I don’t see how it’s the same. In real life I could just walk away and be done with it. Online they can just generate another account and insert themselves right before you.
If people could teleport or create avatars endlessly to try to talk to me in real life I would eventually just wear head phones and pretend to listen to them until they got bored.
But it still says “1 ignored message” when they say something. I want it HIDDEN ENTIRELY, Discord!
I want there to be a setting.
Sometimes the context of a missing message in a group chat is important.
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)
betterdiscord is pretty bad, try legcord or vesktop
better yet use shelter which never breaks
legcord includes shelter
Can you use them on Android?
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!)
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.
Wow. Standard feature of the IRC clients.
What next? Federated instances?
discord is a plague
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’m curious, what does the current blocking fall short of?
Pretend you blocked me. Below is sort of what it looks like in their UI. Personally I like it this way.
- Other user: Heyyy
2 blocked messages
- Jackby: Good morning
- Jackby: How is everyone?
- Other user: Good!
This is for group chats. Blocking still prevents DMs.
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
You couldn’t do that before? That’s stupid.
this seems basically the same as how blocking has worked for forever so idk
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.
aye, I suppose that’s useful
the blocking feature would let the blocked person know when they try to DM the user or react to the user. this “ignore” feature appears to hide all messages and DMs while still allowing reactions
