Since Discord has been a source of stress for me I decided to mute every Discord server, since none of the ones I'm in right now I'm really that interested in keeping up with. I'll check them whenever. My notifications on that program are like the ones I have for my IRC client Hexchat, absolutely nothing. I only know I'm highlighted if I actually look into the server.
What kind of annoyed me about Discord was there was no easy way to mute absolutely everything. All I care about is DMs, though for all the Discord servers in it was a dozen or more clicks in menus to stop them from lighting up or sending me notifications. I have everything set to notify me of nothing and I put all of them on mute so they dont light up. That way I'm not looking at a bunch of stuff that makes me want to click in and there's not all kinds of clutter in the inbox.
Discord has too many features. I liked the simplicity of IRC, all you can do with it really is send and receive text. Similar to Discord in some ways but a lot simpler. You didnt have to deal with people highlighting the entire channel because it's not possible in irc. If someone wanted to highlight me on irc they'd have to type my nick. If they wanted to highlight everyone in the channel they'd have to place everyones nick in their message or several messages. That usually gets you kick banned in most channels on irc. On Discord is common place for people to highlight entire servers constantly every single day and no one seems to mind(which is strange). It was really annoying especially when I had discord on my phone, id frequently get notifications that were pointless.
