Keep the spaces at the beginning of a message
Please keep the spaces at the start of a message. I don't know why it would be useful to remove them from the beginning. To remove spaces that have been written by accident? I think it's very unlikely that you put a space at the beginning by accident since you just start writing your first word at the beginning and you normally put spaces after words. For me it currently ruins a bot idea I have and probably ruins other people's fun ideas as well. And if you want your text to be e.g. centered then you'd have to put a dot or something at the beginning first and then the spaces... That's pretty ugly. Removing this useless feature also makes message sending probably a tiny bit faster and I think that's much more important than this feature since there are like millions of messages sent everyday?

a possible solution is code blocks as they preserve whitespace
i know this is 2 years late, but I had to put this here for people who see this in the future.0 -
@Mr. Man Unfortunately the code blocks trick only seems to be working on desktop screen, when I'm visualizing the same text on my phone app, the spaces are removed. I wish there were a way to tell discord that we want those spaces to be kept x)

Yuurei Change the code block to a new line after the initial triple-grave. For some reason mobile doesn't display code blocks unless you do this.
For example, normally your code block would be:
```Some text
text on a new line
etc```
to make it both mobile and desktop-friendly, do this:
```
Some text
text on a new line
etc```0 -
you can use blank braille pattern to insert blank spaces ("⠀").
However, this is not ideal since it's a bit bigger than a regular space.
Think one of these equals 3 spaces, so it doesn't work if you only want 1 or 2 spaces.Wish you could just use space at the beginning.
