Overview

• The 'Ignore' feature lets users hide messages, notifications, and activity from specific individuals while remaining undetected by the ignored party.
• Unlike blocking, ignored users can still see your profile and send messages, which are hidden unless manually viewed by the user.
• The feature was introduced as part of Safer Internet Day 2025 to provide a less confrontational way to manage online interactions, particularly for teens.
• Discord also launched a non-profit initiative called ROOST, aimed at developing open-source tools to combat child sexual abuse material online.
• Users can activate or deactivate the Ignore feature through a simple menu option, with full reversibility and visibility of ignored accounts in settings.
