Agree, personally. Nitro ads are getting more intrusive too. I understand they have to monetize somehow, but I wish it were handled based on server population rather than blanket spread to all clients. I don’t participate in any huge servers because notification suppression sucks in Discord. The servers I do use are mostly sub 50 users, and as such don’t consume anywhere near as many resources as some of these mega servers out there.
for real! I have a lower tier of nitro but the phrasing around all the higher-tier stuff says “try nitro :)” as if they don’t already have their pound of flesh.
Because it’s basically all or nothing. And even then, Admins can do notification blasts that override user settings. I want more granular control so I can basically subscribe to specific content in specific channels I interact with rather than broad notification settings.
Don’t know if maybe you don’t know when the settings but you can change it to just @mentions with suppress @everyone. You could also do that for individual channels within each discord.
For instance I have probably 100 servers that I belong to. But I only have three channels within each of the servers that I want all notifications. Everything else is set to just direct mentions with @everyone suppressed.
Not sure if you knew what but if you did, sorry for the rehash. If not, hope it helped. I know what it’s like to be completely annoyed by beep beeping on your computer 😠
But… You can? You can do settings per channel, and I’m not aware of any thing admins can do to overwrite notification settings, I have huge servers that I haven’t gotten a notification for in years.
No, for sure. My issue is probably more distinct. I want discord to work like a forum and not like a chat application. I want to subscribe to get notifications only from specific users, or about specific keywords or topics, rather than broad mentions / everyone settings. I also recognize that I’m not the target demographic in that respect, but searching for discord notification threads will yield quite a few results from other users like me who want more control over when and what the app notifies them about.
Okay but this started by you saying that Discord’s notification suppression is bad. And then claimed admins can overwrite your suppression settings. And I said no it’s not and no they can’t, and you come back saying “well what I really want is this”
Like, yeah, sounds like Discord isn’t the platform for you and that’s okay. But not for the original reason you said.
Discord’s client doesn’t allow users to mute announcements. Or at least didn’t when last I checked. And my point stands, I want more granular suppression options and the ability to disable announcements entirely. Nothing I said discredits my original position. To me, not having complete control over what types of notifications I receive is bad suppression. If that definition doesn’t mete out for you, that’s fine.
Recent data breach, and users being unhappy with the username rollout.
It also just generally feels bloated nowadays… I just want to chat

How so? I’m part of several large servers and they’re all no notifications.
