Discord has introduced a new feature that allows users to partially ignore specific individuals, enabling them to manage interactions without muting the entire app or blocking contacts. Users can choose to ignore someone by clicking on their profile and selecting the ignore option. Ignored individuals can still send messages, which users can view at their discretion, and they will not receive notifications about their status. This feature is designed to reduce annoyance from spam messages while maintaining the option for communication. It is particularly useful in situations of persistent harassment, although users are still encouraged to block and report inappropriate messages when necessary.
