We have the expectation that when we hear the ping it means someone wants to talk to us. And then we are crushed when we find out someone just pinged everyone for no reason
My theory is when people get called, they expect to engage in a conversation, but when the ping does not lead with anything and just gets a little annoying. Imagine this were real life, and I randomly just say "hey, Alex" and than just stop. Alex would most likely expect me to say something but I don't, so it gets unnatural and therefore annoying. Especially if it happens again and again every hour or so. (Alex is just a random name I chose for this explanation).
You expect an interaction and then feel a slight sense of rejection because your chance at affirmation has been taken away from you. Sounds dramatic but I think it's accurate to some degree.
Personally, I find pings very annoying simply because every time I get pinged I’m always curious about what the message will be. The annoying part is when you get a ping and find out the message wasn’t even worth reading, it’s just straight up disappointing and you feel like you wasted your time (even though it was only 6 seconds wasted). It’s just an awful feeling. The only pings I don’t get annoyed at are ones that come from personal messages on discord because those are actually worth reading. Even if you go to a channel and turn on “mute notifications,” it still gives you pings and you can’t do anything about it. I don’t want to turn on “do not disturb” because that shows that you are online. I don’t want to people to know that I’m online and I also don’t want pings at the same time.
In notification settings of servers you will find "suppress @here and @everyone" and also "suppress all Roles @mentions" Active those and you will be finally free
i can see how annoying that can be, i just really dont like the ppl who take it so seriously and argue about you pinging them and getting wayyyyy too mad. there prob arent a lot, but ive seen some realllyyy bad ones
The reason I seem to have found from what I’ve heard from friends is that it’s not being pinged that the probably but rather who is pinging them. If you’re waiting for to get a message from a friend and you go to another tab to wait then a ping comes through you could think it was what you were waiting for only for the ping to be from a server where the staff decided to @everyone.
Honestly, I don't see many people taking it as a big deal. I knew people didn't like them, but I didn't know they hated them. Honestly, I'm mostly frustrated by unnecessary pings or ping spam.
There is a large discord server where they hadn't turned off ping everyone... well one mad lad did it and pinged everyone. This resulted in unimaginable outrage and chaos, and ability to ping everyone was promptly removed. I really love how somebody recorded the chat and later edited it, added in witch BGM from left 4 dead (reference to startling a witch, she starts calm and music is ominous, but as soon as you startle her she chases you down and the music changes to be spookier and intense. If she gets to you, she 1 hit downs you or kills you on hardest difficulty). The chat was literally flooded with angry messages. 10/10
I’m starting to hate pings every server I go to gets raided and there’s 10k+ more pings each 10 seconds and I mute them but then I forget to go on discord to check updates on a game I play
@@mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmwmmmmmmmmmm I've never been in a server that's been raided by more than one person at once. That sounds absolutely dreadful. Most of the servers I'm in are either personal or niche, so I guess that's why.
For answer 4 and anybody wondering what else to do, make an optional "Revive Chat Ping" role that you can get by reacting to a message. This allows users to be optionally pinged and isnt as annoying. Plus it (maybe) will revive the chat. edit:not to be the "thanks for leik!" person but thank you for bringing attention to this to people who are unclear of what to do
Crazy life hack, everyone: Turn off sound notifications in settings. It is literally the same thing as "Do Not Disturb" but without actually going on DND. It's that simple
Something I use personally. I like having push notifications and just have the sound turned off. I'll look at my phone within 5 hours unless I'm asleep or particularly busy. I also disable pings on all servers except for direct messages. I'll see the low priority stuff within the week if it's a server I check at all. Helps that I'm on 20 servers of all sizes, so unless its a private message or D&D I probably won't find the source of the ping even if I see it.
Number 6: The spam ping bots. Yes, they exist. Yes, they are able to ping everyone. No they do not use @everyone... They instead tag each and every single user in the server. For larger servers, this means that they post multiple messages each containing hundreds of individual users being pinged. Honestly kind of surprised that this wasn't mentioned. I don't mind being pinged (actually I quite enjoy it when people want to talk to me). But getting pinged multiple times only to go to the server and find out that the person who pinged you had their messages removed and were banned for being a bot can be annoying. And yes, this is why we get the infamous "who pinged me" message in Discord. They literally cannot see/find who pinged them. Thus, this is quite a logical and easily predictable inquiry to be made.
ehh 1 its most definitely not the cause for "who pinged me", every scenario i see people are simply too lazy or do not know how to use the search function, and it was just a normal ping. it isn't hard to do mentions:@(your user), people. 2 "spam ping bots" exist, yes, but they are extremely uncommon, take it from someone who was in 40 something servers, several of them being large public servers with tens of thousands of members, others only being in the few hundred or few thousand range, and small friend group servers
I absolutely do hate it when people pings @everyone just to try to "revive" a chat, *especially* if this server has a dedicated role to be pinged when the chat is inactive
yes, I always make ping roles and people can just pick them up and drop them as they like. I rarely use everyone, unless it is like actually really important for everyone
1. the circle is red. red means important when it comes to notifications and discord pings are usually irrelevant unless it's someone you like sharing dm's with. 2. the sound is ridiculous. having alternatives or a way to replace it with a custom sound would be a great solution. 3. some people don't want their systems making sounds. i know some users who mute every single notification they can just because they're annoying to them.
If you want to ping people to check out updates, you should make a specific role for it. For EX: “Announcements” could be the title of the role and whoever chooses that role will only get pinged. It doesn’t disturb many people and you can still have people notice your updates.
Some people only want to be pinged when it's something important to them (and stop everything they do to respond). Such users are understandably annoyed when being pinged.
This is 100% true. I keep most pings on because I want to know when someone has something important to say. If someone pings me for something stupid, and I stop literally everything I'm doing because it could be important, I kindly ask them to not ping me for stupid stuff. Every subsequent time they ping me for something stupid, my wording gets a little stronger, before just muting their pings altogether. Then they get mad at me for not responding to their ping because I disabled it.
THIS!!! Like this is the whole reason, none of this videos poor “reasonings” (well aside from the fourth one) getting dumb-pinged makes you take time out of your day to see what announcement a sever has made just to be told that some idiot wanted to troll the sever by saying something stupid like “hi” or something like that (in fact in come cases that I have experienced, people were saying triggering things which is absolutely not cool, like wtf)
4:28 Pinging Everyone WILL NOT GET YOUR SERVER ACTIVE! It will A. Make people annoyed and leave or B. People will just end up ignoring the ping all together. So stop pinging a role constantly. Not just everyone.
This is why "Do Not Disturb" is a lifesaver, I personally don't really care if someone pings me or not, but I have it on 24/7 in case somebody decided to ping me at ungodly hours
I am on do not disturb basically 24/7 unless I'm waiting on something important. For me, the sound itself just, annoys the hell out of me. Especially on the rare chance I am waiting for something, and I get that ping noise that's absolutely pointless. It's terrible, but I never really thought about the legitimate reason, and what other peoples reasons might be. Great video!!!
what REALLY makes me angry. Is when a server is *CLEARLY* being raided, and people have the AUDACITY to ask "wHo PinGeD mE??" Like bro, your spacial awareness is on point fr
Ways to avoid to hearing that sound or seeing the red circle with a number: - mute discord sound in volume mixer or disable the sound under settings - turn off the unread badge - do @here so online people will only get pinged while you are offline or invisible - discord disables the ping sound function and the circle with a number while you are on 'do not disturb'
There are people who just don't want to be pinged at all, it's wrong to make fun of us just because we don't want to be pinged all the time in replies etc I know @everyone exists and we can't avoid that, but at least don't fucking make fun of us after pinging us for 10 fucking replies
I feel like you guys are missing an extremely simple reason; you have to stop what you're doing to go see what they pinged you for. And people aren't mad at a stupid red circle or sound, there annoyed because they have to put everything aside. There's also the annoyance of it highlighting your discord icon, which if you have your taskbar to auto hide, it will pull it up.
Some issues not brought up: · Muting specific servers and channels doesn't work. · On the PC app, disabling the ping sound (labeled as "message") in the notification settings doesn't save once you close Discord in the app or log out. · You can hear that ping/message sound but not be given any extra red circles with numbers inside them, so you're left wondering what the hell it was. · said pings that have the red circle with the white number might appear in a # general or some other similar channel, so you gotta search for it to know whether or not it's actually important (and even if you look in your recent mentions, if you're in loads of servers you'll still struggle to find it.)
@@flizzycat If it does, all it does is mute the sound effect when you already get blasted with mystery pings/messages, not the red circle with a number. So there's visibly no difference
dont forget there are youtube videos that have discord ping sounds in them, and some of those dont tell you its from their discord application (by them briefly flashing the word "discord" or something similar)
1- muting channels or servers does work its just not as basic as normal messages 2- disabling the ping sound does save idk what ur talking about 3- 4- you can use the chat search feature to find the person who mentioned you or even easier check your inbox
@@oboll6064 yeah so you can check on that later (it you really care so much about pings on random servers) or just mark them as read. Normal servers usually have announcements channel so if the ping was important, you should be able to find it there
Tip: create another role simply called "chat reviver" or "anouncement ping" to use instead of @everyone. These role can be given by hand or with a bot for reaction roles
The thing is it depends on the ping. If its from a friend then sure its good, discord users are attention whores after all. If its a random everyone ping on a 90000 member server tho (that you are still in it even tho u never check or need or can actively talk in because its too active to actually have a convo) you just get in a chat full of people wondering what the ping is and its usually not important so we get pissed at the pinger admin or whatever.
I dont mind getting pinged if it is a important matter no matter who pinged me, however I hate getting shitpinged for shit reasons. I usually just sets my status to dont disturb tho if Im busy...
Being pinged started off at annoying at first due to them being used for no reason. Though it got to the point where seeing a notification sign bugs me to the point that I have to check it or mute it because I can't just leave it sitting there. Having no notifications till I'm actually messaged by someone I'm talking to makes it easier for me to not lose my mind.
For me it just brings up hope, no clue what im expecting but every time i get pinged i feel like something serious is gonna happen. It builds up false hope of something and it gets dismissed immediately
To be honest, I only get excited whenever it's a ping from someone I really want to talk to. Anyone else who pings, I get my hopes up, looking at my 2nd monitor and just gave out a face of disappointment thinking the person I want to talk to DM'd me when in reality it's only a server ping or a different friend who keeps annoying you.
Discord should revamp the notification system. With the classic "red" ping for critical things, and other colors for just wanting to show something etc. Not what happens is that people mute a server, because they don't want to get pinged for small things, but then also miss the real announcements and in the end become a lurker or even forget about having joined that server.
there is a setting for @mentions only so theres no need to mute servers but i dont ever set it like more then half of the servers im in is ether muted or have @mentions only
ive used discord for the past 2 years and the 1 and 4 are the 2 ones i agree with the most, in general, the sound is annoying, but thanks to "do not disturb", it doesn't do it, but knowing someone wants your attention urgently and knowing its probably as insignificant as telling you they made pasta for dinner is very annoying
I have never disliked being pinged and I've used Discord every day since 2017. In fact, I PREFER for people to ping me when they want to get my attention as I don't check all the servers I'm in constantly. I'm also not the type of person to have thousands of unread pings so whenever I wake up in the morning and have about 5 or more pings, I'll know to check my inbox and respond to them accordingly. That also seems to be something people don't know about, the inbox button. It'll literally show you all of your pings for you without you having to go look for them to see the reason you were pinged. Very useful for people who always ask, "Why was I pinged?" I always tell them, "Check your inbox!" and of course they don't know what that even is. Adding onto this, I've disabled the desktop notifications but left the notification icon and flashing taskbar enabled. Additionally I disable ALL Discord sounds. Outside of pings this includes calling sounds, hanging up sounds, call joining sounds, etc.
I hate being pinged because of a simple reason I have an issue where when I have a ping, I HAVE TO CHECK IT OUT for any reason. Which will be troublesome when you’re in 20 servers with most of them having 10+ channels and having to scroll back so far to find the ping
I'm only annoyed at pings when I dont know where they came from. I actually want to be pinged when someone replies to me cause I want to know when someone replies to me. so when there's a ghost or role ping, I am annoyed I cant find the message I was pinged from.
Actually unless its ghost ping ofc, on phone (idk if u have discord on phone) has option to view “mentions” in right bottom corner and it shows all mentions of @here, @everyone and @(ur user/role)
Honestly, in my opinion; I love getting pinged because usually it’s one of my friends pinging me for no reason, but that ping usually starts an interesting conversation, and I almost have no friends outside of discord so it’s kind of entertaining when I get pinged.
As someone who is been on discord for many years, it’s not the sound that annoys many. It’s simply the notification. When you get a notification you expect it’s someone who is actually wanting to engage with you so when you see it’s a random server that you don’t even care the contents of the message it gets you pretty annoyed (eg. staff getting a promotion on a server you don’t even engage in and in the server for the stickers). There’s no way you can actually stop getting the ping alert even if you mute the servers completely forever
Been using discord on pc for over 3 years now, and after the first week I muted the tab and I only ever unmute it to hear videos people send. I'd rather get jumpscared than hear that ping when I'm really invested in something, cuz it's either gonna distract me for a good 15-20 mins if it's a convo I actually wanna engage in, or it's gonna be for legit the dumbest or dryest reasons. Mute the tab people, makes lives happier and easier
As a discord user, i actually love getting pinged since I'm only in groupchats and servers with my friends. And my friends never chat so usually i would be the only one active. Although I can still say that pings are annoying, if they come from a public server.
I mostly stay to smaller discords, so luckily when I'm pinged it's either someone actually talking to me, or an announcement that applies to me, so it's usually pretty exciting to see a ping. It's interesting to see big discord goer's perspective.
I hate pings for one reason alone: I have my taskbar hidden on my computer, but it's constantly brought up when someone pings me. It would be fine if it was for a few seconds and then it went away, but I have to open discord or press the windows button twice to see the bottom of my screen, which makes things like seeing my inventory, health, hunger, stamina, chat, and many other GUI features impossible. Which makes me have to stop whatever I'm doing for a good 3-7 seconds, which is fatal in any fighting, building, strategy (etc) game
Biggest problem with pings for me is that the moment I set my status to offline, it isn't silent at all. Instead of getting that *ping* noise whenever something pings me, it plays whenever a new message is sent in any of my servers. Because of that, everything will be silent until I go offline, where the ping noise is constantly playing (like 2:07).
I have an answer, and I really think it depends. It depends on where it is from and the relevance it has to the person. That sounds represents something important to you being said, and so I believe the annoyance doesn't start till after the person has removed focus from whatever they were doing; be it playing a game, watching a vid, or working in their favorite 3D modeling software; to check what it is. If it is a direct message from a friend then it intrinsically has to do with you, so rarely does that cause annoyance, unless it is a particularly annoying friend who feels the need to share everything. Then there are server pings, which there are role pings and server wide pings. Again, role pings typically have to do with you directly because whatever the ping is has to do with the reason you have that role, be it a responsibility you took on, or a particular interest in the group you have subscribed to, thus finding the ping to be that you aren't likely to be annoyed, though the odds are slightly higher than a DM. Then there is the server wide pings, which are an "@everyone" or "@here", and these have the highest chance of being not directly relevant to you. They are either a server wide announcement, which has a even odds of being of any importance to you, so decent chance of being annoyed; or it is a "troll", which will nearly always be a cause of annoyance. The only reason all of that has any chance of being an annoyance is that the sound represents something potentially important to you, and you have to draw your attention away from whatever you are doing to check on it. When you check on it and find it wasn't directly important to you is when you get annoyed cause you just spent the energy to lose focus for a moment to check it, and now you have to spend the energy needed again to refocus on what you were doing.
And you did forget the ones when someone just randomly decides to ping your name for the sake of "why not" or just because they was bored and went to ping a random name.
My recommendations to the 4th answer is to create reaction roles for different kinds of pings so that way you only ping those who want to be pinged! It works on my server pretty well even though mine has less than 50 members
My issue with the ping is that when I get pinged I search for 5 minutes and for the life of me cannot find who or where the ping came from. I even go to the section where it shows the most recent pings and there's still nothing there.
I replied to a message answering a question and I got told they didn’t want to be pinged. I replied again saying sorry and got a modbot called on me. This was a relatively big server where they were active and when told they could just disable pings, they said “that defeats the purpose of joining discord servers” I just don’t get why you would join a server, ask a question, and get mad when someone pings you answering
I grew tired of pings within a year of getting discord. I’m 14 and got discord sometime in the middle of 2021. I was pretty open to pings at first but found myself muting any public channel and announcement or other important channels I didn’t really care about with a couple months of downloading it, and tried to stop any way to receive that noise if possible. I only have 7-9 unmuted channels now out of a plethora of servers. As such, I can confirm that the discord ping is definitely a pain in my daily life. It’s just kind of aggravating.
Do you use do not disturb mode? if not i recommend it, it should silence the notification sounds. You can even go as far as going into your user settings to mute the notification pings.
Number 3 is absolutely one of the main reasons, I'm in a server where @everyone is used every day (it's literally said in the rules) and there was this one person who got annoyed at them constantly despite us CONSTANTLY SHOWING THEM A WAY TO SURPRESS THEM, actually this might've happened with multiple people. If you don't know, you can right click a server and go to notification settings to disable @everyone/@here pings. It's actually that simple. If this person was genuinely annoyed at these pings, they would've just taken our advice and there'd be no problem. And it's not like we only said it once, we said it at least 10 times
-@everyone and @here can only be disabled server-wide; they bypass the per-channel settings -@everyone and @here are what are typically used for urgent notifications these two things together make an unwinnable situation for someone who feels spammed by inappropriate use of those pings. They either accept the spam, leave, or accept the risk of missing an admin saying that user accounts may have been compromised by something. If the server rules say they're going to use @everyone or @here on a frequent basis, I can only believe that the server team is too daft to follow the instructions of a reaction-role bot -- because there is no legitimate reason to use those tags for mundane things and force server members into that no-win scenario.
pro tip: mute every server you join and put them all in one folder, then you can just right click the folder and mark all as read, getting rid of all the notifications
2:50 My Search and Rescue organization decided to use discord as our main hub for communication rather than Zoom or Google Meets. I enabled all notifications as well as sounds as required by our commanding officers. Since two captains and one lieutenant were nocturnal and decided to file paperwork during that time, they would pop onto discord and @ everyone or every squadron leader to remind them to fill our or distribute pamphlets, mission statements, briefings, and promotion reminders. One week when I left for sick leave, I had a total of 3,887 pings for my username and 1,000 @here pings. All of these within the span from 11pm-4am Monday through Saturday. It was such a lovely experience to be woken up from COVID and migraines to such persistent noises.
I would say, I don't get annoyed by pings but I always got my status on "busy" because I don't like the ping sound especially when I'm reading something, watching something or playing a game and breaks my immersion but the notification is something I don't care about as I can take a look at it whenever I want, if I get pinged by an everyone ping often without reason, I'm probably in a server that I don't wanna be in, what bothers me however is that friend requests appear on the task bar ( on pc ) is really annoying as I can't see when I get pinged as forementioned I'm not gonna turn on the sound for it. That's how I see it and go through it without annoyance, idk why this video only got recommended to me now but hey, we're here n chilling, good vod!
I don't like random pings because usually I think that a ping would be something important, but sometimes it's just a random person and it's so annoying.
As someone who uses Discord... I love being pinged. When I had DND on I used to purposely enable the sound so I could hear it. I _seriously_ do not understand why people hate the ping, it's a nice noise.
I've ping-muted most servers and disabled literally all discord notification sounds, including voice chat join/leave bleeps. I have become one with the silent abyss. I can't see or hear messages or mentions unless I specifically go to look - and it's beautiful. It is a kind of peace that cannot come without sacrifice - to disconnect without compromise. My friends often wonder why it takes me hours to reply to their messages when I'm literally sitting at my pc with the app open. They don't know what true peace feels like. I fear no ping, for I have become immune. The humble curtain of inbox-ignorance. True Zen.
It's like when you hear the default apple alarm clock sound and your back breaks out of shock as you start shivering and fall to the floor because you're so sick of hearing it
There are two types of people: those in the video who hate being pinged and will immediately go over to the chat they were pinged in, and those that have over 9 thousand unread messages.
For me, pings aren't too annoying, but I typically don't respond to them because talking to people can be mentally straining for me, so I typically let my friends do their own thing before I come to them in 30 minutes. It's the same thing on the phone, just without the sounds. I just swipe the notification and just continue doing my thing.
The third answer is definitely the most correct one. People who ask "who pinged me" are publicly announcing that someone mentioned them (already attention seeking) before they use the multiple easy functions to access the message they were pinged in. They make it dramatic, as if they get it "ALL THE TIME" so 1: everyone knows they are popular and people talk to them And 2: makes them look productive and busy like they have better things to be doing (even though they're on discord to begin with)
an interesting quandary I was posed a few years ago was "if you don't want to get pinged, then why are you in the server?" barring the useless pings, this is a great point. If I have stopped caring about updates for when a particular streamer goes live (or whatever the server's about), I'm not active in the discord, and I mute the entire server already, then why clutter my server list with it? The real worst pings are the ones that get covered up in public channels and you can't even find what the original ping was, you just see people bitching about it in an echo chamber. Or worser still are the deleted pings. You don't even get the satisfaction of mocking them for the dumb thing they pinged; it just turns into a noise to advert your attention to nothing and confusion
I hate any notifications, because they're a disruption to whatever my mind is trying to focus on which is just naturally infuriating for anyone. However even when they're not disruptive, the sound is associated with that stressful feeling so triggers the same reaction.
here's an answer to help not be annoyed with pinging while asleep (for android users only): mute ur phone by swiping down and pressing the sound button 2 times and it'll mute everything except your alarm and main sounds, it'll disable notifications and button sounds, and i like to use it every night before i go to bed.
the reason most people hate pings is because it usually means someone wants to talk to you, or something important is happening, so when the ping is for something useless like "hey, you all suck, bye", it irritates people. reacting to a ping is like a natural response when you use discord, therefore people don't like it when that response is triggered for useless bs. that's why notifs are usually turned off.
Whenever I get pinged, it's normally a @everyone ping, what I'm expecting is someone pinging me wanting to talk. So whenever that happens times 100, you start to get annoyed because out of all those pings, none of them refer to just you.
I just wanted to say if you ghost ping people in your discord server especially if you're the owner of a fairly large server I'm such a huge fan I really admire your commitment to adding a little bit more choas onto this planet and you should keep up the good work P.s for those who don't know what a ghost ping is its where you ping someone and then delete it before anyone can see it
It's really simple for me. People don't really talk me, as I'll often go days or a week+ without speaking with anyone, and the excitement of thinking that someone actually wanted to send me a DM only for it to be shattered by seeing it was some mod saying @everyone Hi in their server is absolutely aggravating.
i hate those specific kinds of people that act super entitled and expect every single person to turn of reply pings for them, and specifically them. They could very easily just change a simple setting to make sure they only get pinged if someon actually directly @ts them, but no, its everyone ELSE that has to bow down to their demands. Ignoring the fact that everyone in a server wont be able to remember you (and anyone else not wanting to get reply pinged) out of everyone in that server, days or weeks or months later, especially since you could change your name & profile picture at any time
my main reason for disliking some pings is that i use them as a way for people to get my attention if they need something or just wanna talk, so when someone in a server decides to ping everyone for something like saying hello it interrupts what I'm doing. I understand you're able to mute servers but then if someone does actually ping me for something i won't hear the sound and might miss it.
I love to make people angry when I ping them, and when they get super angry I give them the most simple solution: "Just surpress pings" and that's when they lose it
I’ve interacted with so many people who would get so angry if you ping them when you reply to their message when you’re actively having a conversation with them in a busy channel. They’d throw a whole fit if you just forgot to turn off the ping when replying
as a discord user for a few years i still dont understand why some people get so mad over pings personally when i get pinged im happy someone wants to talk instead of freaking out and screaming over it
Usually I get frustrated when I get pinged playing an f2p game or any game that requires live action, because it just wastes your time, forces you to look and it, and potentially decreases your chances of winning the game.
I don't mind personal pings if someone actually wants something from me. What annoys me the most is when someone pings @everyone in public chat and when I come to read the ping message there are hundreds of new messages and I can't find it. It's even worse if it gets deleted. Deleting it desn't help with anything, notifications have already been sent. It's also annoying when some servers send notifications about something I'm not interested in and ping @everyone. There is a great solution to this - ping roles. You get a role that receives notifications on given topic, separate role for every topic.

Personally, I find pings very annoying simply because every time I get pinged I’m always curious about what the message will be. The annoying part is when you get a ping and find out the message wasn’t even worth reading, it’s just straight up disappointing and you feel like you wasted your time (even though it was only 6 seconds wasted). It’s just an awful feeling. The only pings I don’t get annoyed at are ones that come from personal messages on discord because those are actually worth reading. Even if you go to a channel and turn on “mute notifications,” it still gives you pings and you can’t do anything about it. I don’t want to turn on “do not disturb” because that shows that you are online. I don’t want to people to know that I’m online and I also don’t want pings at the same time.
right click server go into notification settings disable
For me its just idgaf about what ppl ping me for I simply don't like notifications
In notification settings of servers you will find "suppress @here and @everyone" and also "suppress all Roles @mentions"
Active those and you will be finally free
i can see how annoying that can be, i just really dont like the ppl who take it so seriously and argue about you pinging them and getting wayyyyy too mad. there prob arent a lot, but ive seen some realllyyy bad ones
@@aliciasegunda3555 that doesn't work mate you still have to clear out the pings later even if you don't hear them
The reason I seem to have found from what I’ve heard from friends is that it’s not being pinged that the probably but rather who is pinging them. If you’re waiting for to get a message from a friend and you go to another tab to wait then a ping comes through you could think it was what you were waiting for only for the ping to be from a server where the staff decided to @everyone.

Discord should make a different ping sound for @everyone, server pings and DM pings and no one would be disappointed ever again.
Honestly, I don't see many people taking it as a big deal. I knew people didn't like them, but I didn't know they hated them. Honestly, I'm mostly frustrated by unnecessary pings or ping spam.
It is the at everyone's with no restraint that gets to me.
There is a large discord server where they hadn't turned off ping everyone... well one mad lad did it and pinged everyone. This resulted in unimaginable outrage and chaos, and ability to ping everyone was promptly removed. I really love how somebody recorded the chat and later edited it, added in witch BGM from left 4 dead (reference to startling a witch, she starts calm and music is ominous, but as soon as you startle her she chases you down and the music changes to be spookier and intense. If she gets to you, she 1 hit downs you or kills you on hardest difficulty). The chat was literally flooded with angry messages. 10/10
@@spugelo359 Something like that happened in Philza's server. They had to put a big slowmode on the chat that the ping happened in.
I’m starting to hate pings every server I go to gets raided and there’s 10k+ more pings each 10 seconds and I mute them but then I forget to go on discord to check updates on a game I play
@@mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmwmmmmmmmmmm I've never been in a server that's been raided by more than one person at once. That sounds absolutely dreadful. Most of the servers I'm in are either personal or niche, so I guess that's why.

For answer 4 and anybody wondering what else to do, make an optional "Revive Chat Ping" role that you can get by reacting to a message. This allows users to be optionally pinged and isnt as annoying. Plus it (maybe) will revive the chat.
edit:not to be the "thanks for leik!" person but thank you for bringing attention to this to people who are unclear of what to do
in my server i do that yea,
I am in a discord server that have that wow
a server i moderate does that, it’s really useful
Well that was deleted because quote “it was too annoying”
or just do @here and it will ping everyone whos looking at the server (way less annoying than @everyone everytime)
Crazy life hack, everyone: Turn off sound notifications in settings. It is literally the same thing as "Do Not Disturb" but without actually going on DND. It's that simple
Thats life changing thank you kind person who saved my life
I also turn off all notifications from Discord because I’m in quite a busy server lol
@@plutolunaplays exactly who needs those notifications sounds anyway
Something I use personally. I like having push notifications and just have the sound turned off.
I'll look at my phone within 5 hours unless I'm asleep or particularly busy.
I also disable pings on all servers except for direct messages. I'll see the low priority stuff within the week if it's a server I check at all.
Helps that I'm on 20 servers of all sizes, so unless its a private message or D&D I probably won't find the source of the ping even if I see it.
what are you doing here....
Number 6: The spam ping bots.
Yes, they exist. Yes, they are able to ping everyone. No they do not use @everyone... They instead tag each and every single user in the server. For larger servers, this means that they post multiple messages each containing hundreds of individual users being pinged.
Honestly kind of surprised that this wasn't mentioned. I don't mind being pinged (actually I quite enjoy it when people want to talk to me). But getting pinged multiple times only to go to the server and find out that the person who pinged you had their messages removed and were banned for being a bot can be annoying.
And yes, this is why we get the infamous "who pinged me" message in Discord. They literally cannot see/find who pinged them. Thus, this is quite a logical and easily predictable inquiry to be made.
i did this once in a smaller server. got timeouted for an hour

its most definitely not the cause for "who pinged me", every scenario i see people are simply too lazy or do not know how to use the search function, and it was just a normal ping. it isn't hard to do mentions:@(your user), people.
2
"spam ping bots" exist, yes, but they are extremely uncommon, take it from someone who was in 40 something servers, several of them being large public servers with tens of thousands of members, others only being in the few hundred or few thousand range, and small friend group servers
I absolutely do hate it when people pings @everyone just to try to "revive" a chat, *especially* if this server has a dedicated role to be pinged when the chat is inactive
I don't know about you but i think it's because soem of them don't have the mindset to ping roles instead of everyone
4:37 for discord server owners, i really reccomend reaction roles as u can only ping people who want to be pinged for those stuff
Yes a foolproof idea, just a bit annoyed you didn’t give credit to its founder sir Alex newton
yes, I always make ping roles and people can just pick them up and drop them as they like. I rarely use everyone, unless it is like actually really important for everyone
@bruh sorry my bad
1. the circle is red. red means important when it comes to notifications and discord pings are usually irrelevant unless it's someone you like sharing dm's with.
2. the sound is ridiculous. having alternatives or a way to replace it with a custom sound would be a great solution.
3. some people don't want their systems making sounds. i know some users who mute every single notification they can just because they're annoying to them.
If you want to ping people to check out updates, you should make a specific role for it. For EX: “Announcements” could be the title of the role and whoever chooses that role will only get pinged. It doesn’t disturb many people and you can still have people notice your updates.
That's what I do
The same goes for chat revive. So you not have to do ping the everyone with a random "hi". :D
Some people only want to be pinged when it's something important to them (and stop everything they do to respond). Such users are understandably annoyed when being pinged.
YESHHHHH
yes thats me also i have notification on on my phone, and no i dont need therapy and im not a sociopath
This is 100% true. I keep most pings on because I want to know when someone has something important to say. If someone pings me for something stupid, and I stop literally everything I'm doing because it could be important, I kindly ask them to not ping me for stupid stuff. Every subsequent time they ping me for something stupid, my wording gets a little stronger, before just muting their pings altogether.
Then they get mad at me for not responding to their ping because I disabled it.
Im like thay. Im an admin on a server and folow everything that happens and its annoying having to stress over ping if its not from the server.
THIS!!! Like this is the whole reason, none of this videos poor “reasonings” (well aside from the fourth one) getting dumb-pinged makes you take time out of your day to see what announcement a sever has made just to be told that some idiot wanted to troll the sever by saying something stupid like “hi” or something like that (in fact in come cases that I have experienced, people were saying triggering things which is absolutely not cool, like wtf)
4:28 Pinging Everyone WILL NOT GET YOUR SERVER ACTIVE! It will A. Make people annoyed and leave or B. People will just end up ignoring the ping all together. So stop pinging a role constantly. Not just everyone.
Do you mean start pinging a role constantly or…
@@lifinale You know what I’m talking about. Just don’t ping anything often.
This is why "Do Not Disturb" is a lifesaver, I personally don't really care if someone pings me or not, but I have it on 24/7 in case somebody decided to ping me at ungodly hours
Ga y
I am on do not disturb basically 24/7 unless I'm waiting on something important. For me, the sound itself just, annoys the hell out of me. Especially on the rare chance I am waiting for something, and I get that ping noise that's absolutely pointless. It's terrible, but I never really thought about the legitimate reason, and what other peoples reasons might be. Great video!!!
what REALLY makes me angry. Is when a server is *CLEARLY* being raided, and people have the AUDACITY to ask "wHo PinGeD mE??"
Like bro, your spacial awareness is on point fr
Ways to avoid to hearing that sound or seeing the red circle with a number:
- mute discord sound in volume mixer or disable the sound under settings
- turn off the unread badge
- do @here so online people will only get pinged while you are offline or invisible
- discord disables the ping sound function and the circle with a number while you are on 'do not disturb'
Boi don't use mute and do not disturb
You can just turn off the sound in Discord's settings.
Do not disturb isnt foolproof though. Ive had times where i still get pinged with the sound and everything despite using it.
There are people who just don't want to be pinged at all, it's wrong to make fun of us just because we don't want to be pinged all the time in replies etc
I know @everyone exists and we can't avoid that, but at least don't fucking make fun of us after pinging us for 10 fucking replies
but I also want to be able to see pings from people like my friends
I feel like you guys are missing an extremely simple reason; you have to stop what you're doing to go see what they pinged you for.
And people aren't mad at a stupid red circle or sound, there annoyed because they have to put everything aside. There's also the annoyance of it highlighting your discord icon, which if you have your taskbar to auto hide, it will pull it up.

What bullshit is this? The same could be said if you got a notification from.litersllt any other application
Some issues not brought up:
· Muting specific servers and channels doesn't work.
· On the PC app, disabling the ping sound (labeled as "message") in the notification settings doesn't save once you close Discord in the app or log out.
· You can hear that ping/message sound but not be given any extra red circles with numbers inside them, so you're left wondering what the hell it was.
· said pings that have the red circle with the white number might appear in a # general or some other similar channel, so you gotta search for it to know whether or not it's actually important (and even if you look in your recent mentions, if you're in loads of servers you'll still struggle to find it.)
muting servers do work?
@@flizzycat If it does, all it does is mute the sound effect when you already get blasted with mystery pings/messages, not the red circle with a number. So there's visibly no difference
dont forget there are youtube videos that have discord ping sounds in them, and some of those dont tell you its from their discord application (by them briefly flashing the word "discord" or something similar)
1- muting channels or servers does work its just not as basic as normal messages
2- disabling the ping sound does save idk what ur talking about
3-
4- you can use the chat search feature to find the person who mentioned you or even easier check your inbox
@@oboll6064 yeah so you can check on that later (it you really care so much about pings on random servers) or just mark them as read. Normal servers usually have announcements channel so if the ping was important, you should be able to find it there
What I think is that it makes you stop what you're doing to check discord. When you have to do this multiple times, it starts getting annoying.
Suppress @here and @everyone, job done, I really can't see it being much different to group chats on other services
Tip: create another role simply called "chat reviver" or "anouncement ping" to use instead of @everyone. These role can be given by hand or with a bot for reaction roles
@@Panvther no I think a special role for it is better so that each individual person can pick wether they would want to be pinged for it

I KNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW.
why red and not purple
Nah it’s because it’s a circle not a square and Minecraft is the best game

The thing is it depends on the ping. If its from a friend then sure its good, discord users are attention whores after all. If its a random everyone ping on a 90000 member server tho (that you are still in it even tho u never check or need or can actively talk in because its too active to actually have a convo) you just get in a chat full of people wondering what the ping is and its usually not important so we get pissed at the pinger admin or whatever.
Agreed

I dont mind getting pinged if it is a important matter no matter who pinged me, however I hate getting shitpinged for shit reasons.
I usually just sets my status to dont disturb tho if Im busy...
I just mute those servers. Honestly that’s way easier than expressing your annoyance on discord every time
@@IYIisterJacky 'shitpinged' - I shall be hijacking that phrase, thanks!
Being pinged started off at annoying at first due to them being used for no reason. Though it got to the point where seeing a notification sign bugs me to the point that I have to check it or mute it because I can't just leave it sitting there. Having no notifications till I'm actually messaged by someone I'm talking to makes it easier for me to not lose my mind.
For me it just brings up hope, no clue what im expecting but every time i get pinged i feel like something serious is gonna happen.
It builds up false hope of something and it gets dismissed immediately
To be honest, I only get excited whenever it's a ping from someone I really want to talk to. Anyone else who pings, I get my hopes up, looking at my 2nd monitor and just gave out a face of disappointment thinking the person I want to talk to DM'd me when in reality it's only a server ping or a different friend who keeps annoying you.
This is so me
@@NovaRaptor And yeah the excitement of getting a ping is only there when it's my girlfriend or a close friend lol
@@kamenrider55 girlfriend? You know her irl right?
@@satisfaction8242 yeah
My reason for hating pings is that I’m a slight perfectionist and I like keeping my discord page clean despite the hundreds of servers I’m in
Me too!!
But i dont actually mind pings.
Discord should revamp the notification system. With the classic "red" ping for critical things, and other colors for just wanting to show something etc. Not what happens is that people mute a server, because they don't want to get pinged for small things, but then also miss the real announcements and in the end become a lurker or even forget about having joined that server.
there is a setting for @mentions only so theres no need to mute servers but i dont ever set it like more then half of the servers im in is ether muted or have @mentions only
The fact that someone might actually want to talk to me of their own free will brings me joy in these times.
The ping sound used to give me major anxiety before I started using discord regularly for freelance work.

ive used discord for the past 2 years and the 1 and 4 are the 2 ones i agree with the most, in general, the sound is annoying, but thanks to "do not disturb", it doesn't do it, but knowing someone wants your attention urgently and knowing its probably as insignificant as telling you they made pasta for dinner is very annoying
@bruh Or just use it on browser and you can mute the page in 2 clicks for not being noisy.
2:52 now that’s why I put do not disturb on
I have never disliked being pinged and I've used Discord every day since 2017. In fact, I PREFER for people to ping me when they want to get my attention as I don't check all the servers I'm in constantly. I'm also not the type of person to have thousands of unread pings so whenever I wake up in the morning and have about 5 or more pings, I'll know to check my inbox and respond to them accordingly. That also seems to be something people don't know about, the inbox button. It'll literally show you all of your pings for you without you having to go look for them to see the reason you were pinged. Very useful for people who always ask, "Why was I pinged?" I always tell them, "Check your inbox!" and of course they don't know what that even is. Adding onto this, I've disabled the desktop notifications but left the notification icon and flashing taskbar enabled. Additionally I disable ALL Discord sounds. Outside of pings this includes calling sounds, hanging up sounds, call joining sounds, etc.
I hate being pinged because of a simple reason
I have an issue where when I have a ping, I HAVE TO CHECK IT OUT for any reason.
Which will be troublesome when you’re in 20 servers with most of them having 10+ channels and having to scroll back so far to find the ping
Same
Meanwhile me trying to ignore pings from 100+ servers 🤣
I'm only annoyed at pings when I dont know where they came from.
I actually want to be pinged when someone replies to me cause I want to know when someone replies to me.
so when there's a ghost or role ping, I am annoyed I cant find the message I was pinged from.
Same
Actually unless its ghost ping ofc, on phone (idk if u have discord on phone) has option to view “mentions” in right bottom corner and it shows all mentions of @here, @everyone and @(ur user/role)
Just check your inbox and it'll show you all of your mentions and allow you to jump straight to them
Honestly, in my opinion; I love getting pinged because usually it’s one of my friends pinging me for no reason, but that ping usually starts an interesting conversation, and I almost have no friends outside of discord so it’s kind of entertaining when I get pinged.
As someone who is been on discord for many years, it’s not the sound that annoys many. It’s simply the notification. When you get a notification you expect it’s someone who is actually wanting to engage with you so when you see it’s a random server that you don’t even care the contents of the message it gets you pretty annoyed (eg. staff getting a promotion on a server you don’t even engage in and in the server for the stickers). There’s no way you can actually stop getting the ping alert even if you mute the servers completely forever
Been using discord on pc for over 3 years now, and after the first week I muted the tab and I only ever unmute it to hear videos people send. I'd rather get jumpscared than hear that ping when I'm really invested in something, cuz it's either gonna distract me for a good 15-20 mins if it's a convo I actually wanna engage in, or it's gonna be for legit the dumbest or dryest reasons. Mute the tab people, makes lives happier and easier
If you want to ping a lot of people, add ping roles so people can choose what they get pinged for
As a discord user, i actually love getting pinged since I'm only in groupchats and servers with my friends. And my friends never chat so usually i would be the only one active. Although I can still say that pings are annoying, if they come from a public server.
In some servers, you can choose what category of notification do you want to get pinged. I think this is the best way to solve the problem.
I mostly stay to smaller discords, so luckily when I'm pinged it's either someone actually talking to me, or an announcement that applies to me, so it's usually pretty exciting to see a ping. It's interesting to see big discord goer's perspective.
I hate pings for one reason alone: I have my taskbar hidden on my computer, but it's constantly brought up when someone pings me. It would be fine if it was for a few seconds and then it went away, but I have to open discord or press the windows button twice to see the bottom of my screen, which makes things like seeing my inventory, health, hunger, stamina, chat, and many other GUI features impossible. Which makes me have to stop whatever I'm doing for a good 3-7 seconds, which is fatal in any fighting, building, strategy (etc) game
Biggest problem with pings for me is that the moment I set my status to offline, it isn't silent at all. Instead of getting that *ping* noise whenever something pings me, it plays whenever a new message is sent in any of my servers. Because of that, everything will be silent until I go offline, where the ping noise is constantly playing (like 2:07).
Wow. Sounds like a bug. I don't think that should be happening to you.
@@stephaniethebatter7975 That definitely must be it, there is no way this is normal behavior from discord
WhatsApp clear
I have an answer, and I really think it depends. It depends on where it is from and the relevance it has to the person. That sounds represents something important to you being said, and so I believe the annoyance doesn't start till after the person has removed focus from whatever they were doing; be it playing a game, watching a vid, or working in their favorite 3D modeling software; to check what it is. If it is a direct message from a friend then it intrinsically has to do with you, so rarely does that cause annoyance, unless it is a particularly annoying friend who feels the need to share everything. Then there are server pings, which there are role pings and server wide pings. Again, role pings typically have to do with you directly because whatever the ping is has to do with the reason you have that role, be it a responsibility you took on, or a particular interest in the group you have subscribed to, thus finding the ping to be that you aren't likely to be annoyed, though the odds are slightly higher than a DM. Then there is the server wide pings, which are an "@everyone" or "@here", and these have the highest chance of being not directly relevant to you. They are either a server wide announcement, which has a even odds of being of any importance to you, so decent chance of being annoyed; or it is a "troll", which will nearly always be a cause of annoyance.
The only reason all of that has any chance of being an annoyance is that the sound represents something potentially important to you, and you have to draw your attention away from whatever you are doing to check on it. When you check on it and find it wasn't directly important to you is when you get annoyed cause you just spent the energy to lose focus for a moment to check it, and now you have to spend the energy needed again to refocus on what you were doing.
And you did forget the ones when someone just randomly decides to ping your name for the sake of "why not" or just because they was bored and went to ping a random name.
I personally look forward to getting pinged, seeing as it means getting to talk about something interesting or playing halo with the squad.
I have like 750 pings because I gave up on clicking them. Except when I’m active. It annoys the heck out me
I feel that people will also hate pings because maybe ocd? I acually have that where any notifaction unchecked annoys me but its gotten better.
Just go into the settings, notifications and turn the ping sound off. You'll still see them on screen but without the sound...
yes i do that but that 1 still annoys me and then ill stil go chechk it out
My recommendations to the 4th answer is to create reaction roles for different kinds of pings so that way you only ping those who want to be pinged! It works on my server pretty well even though mine has less than 50 members

I only have 7-9 unmuted channels now out of a plethora of servers. As such, I can confirm that the discord ping is definitely a pain in my daily life. It’s just kind of aggravating.

@@LittleBear-gq7he yeah but what if he wants notifications from other servers?
Number 3 is absolutely one of the main reasons, I'm in a server where @everyone is used every day (it's literally said in the rules) and there was this one person who got annoyed at them constantly despite us CONSTANTLY SHOWING THEM A WAY TO SURPRESS THEM, actually this might've happened with multiple people. If you don't know, you can right click a server and go to notification settings to disable @everyone/@here pings. It's actually that simple. If this person was genuinely annoyed at these pings, they would've just taken our advice and there'd be no problem. And it's not like we only said it once, we said it at least 10 times
-@everyone and @here can only be disabled server-wide; they bypass the per-channel settings
-@everyone and @here are what are typically used for urgent notifications
these two things together make an unwinnable situation for someone who feels spammed by inappropriate use of those pings. They either accept the spam, leave, or accept the risk of missing an admin saying that user accounts may have been compromised by something.
If the server rules say they're going to use @everyone or @here on a frequent basis, I can only believe that the server team is too daft to follow the instructions of a reaction-role bot -- because there is no legitimate reason to use those tags for mundane things and force server members into that no-win scenario.
I am ALWAYS happy when someone pinged me for something because i feel like i am needed! :)
pro tip: mute every server you join and put them all in one folder, then you can just right click the folder and mark all as read, getting rid of all the notifications
I disable them in both server settings and app settings to not get pop up notifications at all.

Sometimes, I get auditory hallucinations and hear the discord ping.
2:50
My Search and Rescue organization decided to use discord as our main hub for communication rather than Zoom or Google Meets. I enabled all notifications as well as sounds as required by our commanding officers. Since two captains and one lieutenant were nocturnal and decided to file paperwork during that time, they would pop onto discord and @ everyone or every squadron leader to remind them to fill our or distribute pamphlets, mission statements, briefings, and promotion reminders.
One week when I left for sick leave, I had a total of 3,887 pings for my username and 1,000 @here pings. All of these within the span from 11pm-4am Monday through Saturday.
It was such a lovely experience to be woken up from COVID and migraines to such persistent noises.
Watching this video while having five separate Discord DM convos at the same time is the only way to experience this video.
I would say, I don't get annoyed by pings but I always got my status on "busy" because I don't like the ping sound especially when I'm reading something, watching something or playing a game and breaks my immersion but the notification is something I don't care about as I can take a look at it whenever I want, if I get pinged by an everyone ping often without reason, I'm probably in a server that I don't wanna be in, what bothers me however is that friend requests appear on the task bar ( on pc ) is really annoying as I can't see when I get pinged as forementioned I'm not gonna turn on the sound for it.
That's how I see it and go through it without annoyance, idk why this video only got recommended to me now but hey, we're here n chilling, good vod!
I don't like random pings because usually I think that a ping would be something important, but sometimes it's just a random person and it's so annoying.
I know a lot of people don't like being pinge because it gives them anxiety
As someone who uses Discord...
I love being pinged. When I had DND on I used to purposely enable the sound so I could hear it. I _seriously_ do not understand why people hate the ping, it's a nice noise.
I've ping-muted most servers and disabled literally all discord notification sounds, including voice chat join/leave bleeps. I have become one with the silent abyss. I can't see or hear messages or mentions unless I specifically go to look - and it's beautiful. It is a kind of peace that cannot come without sacrifice - to disconnect without compromise. My friends often wonder why it takes me hours to reply to their messages when I'm literally sitting at my pc with the app open. They don't know what true peace feels like. I fear no ping, for I have become immune. The humble curtain of inbox-ignorance. True Zen.
Some servers you don't want to mute the whole server but muting single channels STILL doesn't get rid of the red circle.
the sound just strikes the "im pissed" nerves in my head. It like goes through all my mental tolerance barriers and just pisses me off.
It's like when you hear the default apple alarm clock sound and your back breaks out of shock as you start shivering and fall to the floor because you're so sick of hearing it
There are two types of people: those in the video who hate being pinged and will immediately go over to the chat they were pinged in, and those that have over 9 thousand unread messages.
For me, pings aren't too annoying, but I typically don't respond to them because talking to people can be mentally straining for me, so I typically let my friends do their own thing before I come to them in 30 minutes. It's the same thing on the phone, just without the sounds. I just swipe the notification and just continue doing my thing.
It's also annoying when I'm listening to music and I get a ping because it temporary lowers the volume of my music so I here the discord sound.
The third answer is definitely the most correct one. People who ask "who pinged me" are publicly announcing that someone mentioned them (already attention seeking) before they use the multiple easy functions to access the message they were pinged in.
They make it dramatic, as if they get it "ALL THE TIME" so
1: everyone knows they are popular and people talk to them
And
2: makes them look productive and busy like they have better things to be doing (even though they're on discord to begin with)
an interesting quandary I was posed a few years ago was "if you don't want to get pinged, then why are you in the server?" barring the useless pings, this is a great point. If I have stopped caring about updates for when a particular streamer goes live (or whatever the server's about), I'm not active in the discord, and I mute the entire server already, then why clutter my server list with it?
The real worst pings are the ones that get covered up in public channels and you can't even find what the original ping was, you just see people bitching about it in an echo chamber. Or worser still are the deleted pings. You don't even get the satisfaction of mocking them for the dumb thing they pinged; it just turns into a noise to advert your attention to nothing and confusion
I hate any notifications, because they're a disruption to whatever my mind is trying to focus on which is just naturally infuriating for anyone. However even when they're not disruptive, the sound is associated with that stressful feeling so triggers the same reaction.
here's an answer to help not be annoyed with pinging while asleep (for android users only): mute ur phone by swiping down and pressing the sound button 2 times and it'll mute everything except your alarm and main sounds, it'll disable notifications and button sounds, and i like to use it every night before i go to bed.
For me it is because I expect a friend to be talking to me, but when its something completely unrelated it can be tiresome
the reason most people hate pings is because it usually means someone wants to talk to you, or something important is happening, so when the ping is for something useless like "hey, you all suck, bye", it irritates people. reacting to a ping is like a natural response when you use discord, therefore people don't like it when that response is triggered for useless bs. that's why notifs are usually turned off.
Whenever I get pinged, it's normally a @everyone ping, what I'm expecting is someone pinging me wanting to talk. So whenever that happens times 100, you start to get annoyed because out of all those pings, none of them refer to just you.
I have this obsession of getting rid of notifications in everything.
I just wanted to say if you ghost ping people in your discord server especially if you're the owner of a fairly large server
I'm such a huge fan I really admire your commitment to adding a little bit more choas onto this planet and you should keep up the good work
P.s for those who don't know what a ghost ping is its where you ping someone and then delete it before anyone can see it
It's really simple for me. People don't really talk me, as I'll often go days or a week+ without speaking with anyone, and the excitement of thinking that someone actually wanted to send me a DM only for it to be shattered by seeing it was some mod saying @everyone Hi in their server is absolutely aggravating.
i hate those specific kinds of people that act super entitled and expect every single person to turn of reply pings for them, and specifically them. They could very easily just change a simple setting to make sure they only get pinged if someon actually directly @ts them, but no, its everyone ELSE that has to bow down to their demands.
Ignoring the fact that everyone in a server wont be able to remember you (and anyone else not wanting to get reply pinged) out of everyone in that server, days or weeks or months later, especially since you could change your name & profile picture at any time
Right when u said “a discord ping at 0:48 i got a notification synced perfectly
my main reason for disliking some pings is that i use them as a way for people to get my attention if they need something or just wanna talk, so when someone in a server decides to ping everyone for something like saying hello it interrupts what I'm doing. I understand you're able to mute servers but then if someone does actually ping me for something i won't hear the sound and might miss it.
I love to make people angry when I ping them, and when they get super angry I give them the most simple solution: "Just surpress pings" and that's when they lose it
I’ve interacted with so many people who would get so angry if you ping them when you reply to their message when you’re actively having a conversation with them in a busy channel. They’d throw a whole fit if you just forgot to turn off the ping when replying
ikr
as a discord user for a few years i still dont understand why some people get so mad over pings personally when i get pinged im happy someone wants to talk instead of freaking out and screaming over it
this gave me the idea that having a system on discord where you can limit how frequently a specific role can be pinged could be REALLY useful
Usually I get frustrated when I get pinged playing an f2p game or any game that requires live action, because it just wastes your time, forces you to look and it, and potentially decreases your chances of winning the game.
if I’m trying do something like edit, and if you’re in a lot of servers/groups, that noise gets really annoying
I don't mind personal pings if someone actually wants something from me. What annoys me the most is when someone pings @everyone in public chat and when I come to read the ping message there are hundreds of new messages and I can't find it. It's even worse if it gets deleted. Deleting it desn't help with anything, notifications have already been sent. It's also annoying when some servers send notifications about something I'm not interested in and ping @everyone. There is a great solution to this - ping roles. You get a role that receives notifications on given topic, separate role for every topic.
