How Do You Block Someone On Discord Without Them Knowing?

After blocking someone on Discord, if they try to send you any messages, they will receive the message pictured below.

In this case, the person can’t be 100% sure you blocked them, as the message lists a couple of other possibilities. The user also won’t get notified once you’ve blocked them. So, you don’t need to worry about the person knowing for sure that you’ve blocked them. They might suspect it, but Discord won’t notify them.

If the situation between you and the other user escalates somehow, you might want to think about reporting the account to Discord.

What Happens if You Block Someone on Discord?

A few things occur after blocking someone on Discord. First, they’ll be removed from your friends’ list, their messages to you will disappear, and if you’re in a Discord server together, their messages will be hidden. They will no longer be able to send you messages, call you, ping you, or notify you by mentioning your username in a server.

If you want to see someone’s messages on a server that you have blocked, you can select the Show message option to have it displayed. On the mobile app, you can go to the Blocked Messages section.

Also, although you won’t be able to see a blocked user’s messages on a server, they will still be able to see yours.

Do I appear offline when I block someone on Discord?

No. When you block someone, they will appear offline to you, but they can still see your online status unless they also block you.

Set up parental controls on your router to block Discord and other websites across your entire network. That way, no device can access Discord when connected to your Wi-Fi.

Type two vertical bars (||) before and after the text you want to hide. For example, when you type ||Hello world|| the text will be blocked out and readers must select it to read the message.

Tip: How to set time limit on Discord?

Discord is generally a safe social platform. So it’s okay for kids to spend a certain amount of time communicating with friends through it. Parents can set time limit on Discord to keep kids from being distracted by it while studying. To do that, click Discord app/site from the block list. A clock icon will appear. Click the clock icon. Enable Custom Schedule option. Then set the time that you want to block Discord on your computer.

Method 2: How to Block Discord on Mac Computer Using Screen Time

Mac computer (Catalina or later only) has a built-in feature to limit time spent on certain apps and websites. It also supports blocking a specific website. You can find this feature called Screen Time on your Mac System Preferences window. To block Discord on Mac:

5. Scroll down the app list to the end and expand Websites. Click the Plus icon that appears. Enter the URL of Discord. Set daily time limit for Discord website.

If you want to block the Discord site directly instead of setting a time limit, click Content and Privacy on the left sidebar. Turn on Content and Privacy Restrictions. Then choose Limit Adult Websites under the Content tab. Click the Customize button that appears. Then you can add the domain name of Discord to the block list.

Tip: Why I can’t find Screen Time on Mac?

If your computer is running macOS 10.14 Mojave or older, you cannot find Screen Time on the System Preferences window. However, there’s still built-in way in these Mac versions to block Discord-using Parental Controls. Similar to Screen Time, it is also a feature that helps to limit access to certain apps and websites. Note that Parental Controls only works on a non-administrator account.

Method 3：How to Block Discord on Windows through AppCrypt

I’ve introduced how to block Discord on Mac with AppCrypt in method 1. This tool is also compatible with Windows 11/10/8/7. The steps are slightly different than the Mac version. Let’s take a look at how to block Discord using this tool on Windows:

1. Download and install Cisdem AppCrypt on your PC.

2. Set a password when you first open it.

3. Right-click its icon on the task bar. Select Open main window.

4. Enter the password. Click OK.

5. Now you’ve entered AppCrypt. To block Discord app on Windows, directly drag its desktop shortcut to the main window.

You can also click the Plus icon and drag Discord’s exe file into AppCrypt.

6. To block Discord website, go to the Web Block tab. A window’ll pop up and ask you to install the extension for your browsers. Follow the prompts to download and install the extension to your Chrome and Edge browsers.

Then add discord.com to the block list.

Method 4: How to Block Discord on Computer Using BlockSite

BlockSite is an extension that can be added into browsers. It can be used to block individual pages or entire websites. It won’t charge you within 6 blocked websites. BlockSite maybe a good choice if you only need to block Discord on your browser. Here I’ll show you how to block Discord on Chrome.

1. Open Chrome, click the three-dot icon at the upper right corner. Select More Tools from the drop down menu, then click Extensions.

2. Open Chrome Web Store and search BlockSite from the store. Choose the first link from the list and click Add to Chrome. Click Add extension when prompted. This option will appear at the top of the page.

3. Open the website of Discord, then right click anywhere to open the quick access menu. Select BlockSite from the menu, then choose Block this site.

4. Now Discord is blocked. The next time you or other users tries to open this site, an error page will appear.

BlockSite has a lot of cool features such as create custom block lists, schedule sites blocking, and sync with other devices, but have to pay for it if you want to block more than six sites. Another disadvantage is that the extension can be removed. So if your kids already know the extension, maybe you should try other methods.

Method 5: Block Discord on Chrome via Changing Site Setting Permissions

Discord runs as a web application in most browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. But it seems to work better on Chrome browser. Google Chromes allows users to control the websites permissions, including Sound, Images, Camera, Microphone, Notifications, etc. If you find it troublesome to completely block the entire Discord website, you can easily use the following method to turn off certain permissions on the Discord website.
