How to Block Someone on Discord
If you don’t want to remove them from your friend’s list, you can also try blocking them. Blocking someone will stop them from sending you direct messages.
Now, the steps to block someone on Discord on mobile and PC are the same as above. Instead of clicking on the Remove Friend button, click on the Block button.
Blocking vs Removing: What’s the difference?
Now, You may be thinking, should I remove them or should I block them? Here’s the big difference:
Removing a friend: They’re removed from your friend list, but they can still message you if you’re on the same server.
Blocking: They can’t message you, view your online status, or interact with you at all.
If the person is someone you don’t want to talk to anymore, it’s fine to remove them. But if they’re harassing or being a toxic person, block them.
Alternative Options:
What If You Don’t Want to Remove or Block Them Completely? If you’re not sure whether to remove or block someone on Discord, try these alternatives:
1. Mute Their Messages – If they spam excessively, but you don’t want to block them, mute them instead. To mute them:
- Right-click their name (Desktop) or tap on their profile (Mobile).
- Select Mute to stop receiving notifications from them.
2. Restrict Their Access in a Server – If they are bothering you in a Discord server, request an admin to limit their access.
3. Make Your Status Invisible – If you don’t want someone to see you when you’re online, you can set your status Invisible in the user settings.
