What do you mean by this? I don't pay for Discord and I have never had any issues scrolling as far back as I want to.

> Not really, you can't tell who pinged you half the time (and this is a common complaint from most everyone in a discord server with 70+K members.)

Personally I have notifications disabled so I can't comment on that, but both the web client and the Android app have a specific view to list all past pings or replies.

> Limited ones unless you get a bot to add in granularity (such as duration of moderation action.) I can think of a few HTTP chat sites from the late 90s that had better moderation for all users (and a reverse-ignore feature, which seems to have just disappeared from everyone's collective memory.)

While limited, they are there by default and pretty convenient. And they're getting better.




"What do you mean by this? I don't pay for Discord and I have never had any issues scrolling as far back as I want to."

The servers need to be boosted to keep certain things like extended history preservation and what not available to the users of that server.


This just isn't true.

I'm on a server which has never been boosted and I can scroll back all the way to the server's creation with no limits.
