    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 😠

        Yeah, discord is way less bad than anything else I’ve seen. Tags would be cool but you can change settings per channel and server and as the host you can give people more granular control by using roles.

        I don’t really know what more you would reasonably want.

      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.

              Yes you can. You can mute anything and everything you want. And you can have per channel overrides. So you could say mute everything (yes including announcements) and then override that to notifications for a single thread on that server.

      I’ve had issues the other way too. Smaller servers (even my own) that don’t send notifications or list badges on channels.
