Discord now lets you quietly block people
Briefly

Discord has rolled out a new feature called Ignore, allowing users to mute annoying or abusive contacts without the confrontation of blocking them. By selecting Ignore from a user's profile menu, individuals can hide messages and notifications without alerting the blocked user. This approach aims to reduce anxiety, particularly for teens, by offering a way to manage social interactions more discreetly. Additionally, Discord has partnered with OpenAI, Google, Roblox, and others to establish ROOST, a non-profit foundation focused on developing open-source technology to help detect child sexual abuse material.
Discord's new Ignore feature enables users to quietly mute annoying or abusive contacts, allowing them to take space without escalating conflict or anxiety.
This feature is designed to give users, particularly teens, a discreet method to manage their interactions and avoid confrontational block scenarios.
