Ability to filter custom set of words in text chat

sspx

Would love for Discord to add the ability to add a menu/setting that lets you input a series of words you wish to not appear in text chat, and would allow you to effectively block messages containing these words from appearing on display.

The UX shouldn't be that the message is gone completely, but rather use the same UX that's used for blocking people; except specify that a message was blocked according to your own filter settings.

This would improve quality of life for viewing discord in general.

For example; I'd rather filter out words like "politics" or "trump" so I don't have to see these sorts of messages while reading chat.

    while it would be convenient to have a chat filter we do have discord bots that can already do that with moderation settings

    Unfortunately bots are ran on servers owned by other people and I would much rather have a personal filter than rely on Moderators, as words I'd rather filter are not usually words that are bannable offenses.

    Consider words to be topics people can discuss about normally, but you don't want to see them; then you'll understand this feature request better.

    Are you really so afraid of these topics that you cant even briefly read them? Also I'd guess that you'd quickly disable this feature in practice.
