Blocked users messages should not be visible

(#939) Feature Under consideration moderation privacy

Problem

Currently blocked users messages are still visible, it's a common complaint with Discord that blocked users are still visible in various places.

Proposed solution

Blocked messages should be invisible, it should also remove the user. This feature could be toggleable.

image I suggested similar in the visionary server, and it was brought up that this shouldn't apply in a server you moderate which is a good point. IMO it should be toggleable in Settings > Privacy or Settings > blocked users

Additionally - blocked messages are currently showing in replies, whereas it should show something like Blocked message image (this user was blocked as a test)

All for this feature as long as messages are forced to be semi shown (as "x blocked messages") in servers / channels you moderate regardless of that setting.

I also wanna propose a search option to include or exclude people you've blocked in the search results, because sometimes I do want their messages included, as rare as you'd think it happens. Maybe something like include-blocked? And probably false by default.

This is one of my biggest complaints about discord and I am very sad to see it continuing over here.

I agree, this should be hidden, a lot of people with issues will just have an urge to open it regardless, hence why block feature is pointless.

A temporary fix for this would be to include this in your Custom CSS Overrides:
.BlockedMessageGroups\.module__container___YzZmMT {
  display: none;
}
below still hides the blocked messages, but it has a little hack to hide date banners if the only messages sent on that day were from blocked accounts. it's only partially tested, so only use it if you're familiar with css and wanna further modify it.
.Divider\.module__container___XzVjNm:has(+ .BlockedMessageGroups\.module__container___YzZmMT:not(:only-of-type)),
.BlockedMessageGroups\.module__container___YzZmMT {
  display: none;
}
i'd be fine with the replies to this comment to talk about improving this css lol
