Option to disable the new Events feature
Seeing as the new event option was added to selective servers, I'd really like to request an option to disable the feature being added. My servers really don't have a use for events, and having it pinned above the general chats throws off how we like our set up, taking up space that will get no use. I'm very unlikely to ever make use of the feature and I doubt my friends will wanna use it either in our text-based servers, so I'd appreciate a disable option when the feature has entered the final stage of testing (I assume it's tested now since it's selective?). Features like these should not be forced, especially since they are really voice chat focused. Your user base likes to be able to customize their experience.

Seriously, why in the hell is there no toggle to turn this off. I will NEVER use it. It takes up space on my server list that I CERTAINLY do not want. Literally every single update there's something new pushed on us without the option to disable or hide. Like the server discovery button, the student button on the phone app, etc.
I don't want this. Let me TOGGLE IT OFF.20 -
I'm in the same boat, I do not want this, nor need this. Once again they keep forcing this stuff down our throats. It's like they want us to go to another program.

This new Events feature has screwed up my server layout. Give me the option to turn it off. It looks ugly. It should be an opt-in only feature!

I am on the exact opposite. I still haven't received it and I could very much use it for future events :/

very correct. server events might come in handy to some people, but it destroys a person's user experience by not letting us turn it on/off. if they cant add that turn/off feature at least they could let us edit the channel just like every other channel. It makes my server ugly, and I really don't like that.

How lucky I am to have Discord to decide what to add to my server and in what order of priority it should be granted. I shudder in anguish thinking of all the time I've wasted setting up my server my way rather than letting Discord decide for me.

It gets enabled when an admin of the server enables “community”. The “events” section will disappear when an admin disables “community”. Just turned it off in my server.

I own a server with 5k+ members i can't just disable community.

When there is no scheduled events, members don't see the events button. Only people with manage events permission see the button.

I'd like to be able to disable/hide the events where I don't have to see it. I'm server owner for several small servers. We will never use the events and having it pinned at the top throwing off my set up is annoying. Also, I do NOT have "community" enabled and the events section is still there and cannot be removed. So that comment doesn't apply to me.

Honestly, I agree. Discord can't just destruct our entire setup throwing the Events feature at people who need to use the Community feature. We just want to personalize our own servers. There isn't even a reason for that feature because we can literally just make a channel called #events. And even though members cannot see them, Event Managers and Server Owners still do not like this feature because it destroyed their entire setup and made a new feature that we don't need.

It's crazy when I never mean to use it. We're in the same boat, but here it comes when we enable community. So, if you want to disable this, you have to disable the community and partners as well. You know, it doesn't even make any sense.

Agreed. It's as simple as a hide feature to let the server managers control what they see and don't see. It should also have the ability to be moved up and down the column like any other channel.

Agreed. This is one more example of Discord throwing a feature at us and not giving us any agency, as server admin/founders we should be able to completely disable and/or remove such features as do not apply to the server and it's members.
I understand that the vast majority of large guilds will absolutely love this feature and it will get frequent use, but as with nearly every other feature you upchuck into our GUI, we should have an option to completely disable and hide it at the server level.
Take my upvote, and let's hope this simple option to disable or hide it is granted. It is really throwing me off and annoying me.
PS Looks like I'm 2 years late to the party, so I guess my little server finally got hit long after the initial wave of discontent.2 -
Just woke up to my personal server that i use as an archive with this. It's really throwing me off and i hope they add a way to hide this.

It just kicked in on my private and my friends/family servers and none of them have community enabled. It's hideous. I really want it gone.

This garbage just showed up on one of my private servers and I would love a way to get rid of it.
