With a variety of software and apps available for in-game communication, Discord takes things to the next level, especially for gamers who are into community building. Having said that, certain Discord channels or servers can be intrusive with how they operate. If you happen to not like a server, we have a quick and easy guide that can help you leave any server to stop further engagement.

Do note that once you leave a server on Discord, you stop receiving notifications from that server. You cannot post any messages on that server either, as it will disappear from your list.
