Please disable screen shake when reacting to blocking user in browser

Hi! I was told to make a post about this a while ago and am finally getting around to it.

A while ago, the Discord app was updated so that when you tried to react to someone who had you blocked, it says "Reaction blocked" instead of giving you that jarring shaking motion. For some reason, this was never changed on the browser version.

I would like to request that the screen shaking be removed and replaced with "Reaction blocked" on browser Discord. To my knowledge, the shaking is severe enough to trigger photosensitive epilepsy, and it can cause panic attacks in people like me, who have anxiety and startle badly at such things. EDIT: It's also very unintuitive and, in larger servers, frequently leads to "huh, Discord is glitching. The screen shakes whenever I try to react to [USER]. Anyone know anything about this?"

Photosensitive users and users for whom the screen shake is basically a jump scare shouldn't be forced to use app versions of Discord to avoid seeing the screen shake when they either try to react to someone's post who recently blocked them or misclick and accidentally try to react to someone's post who they know has them blocked.

Categorizing this as "accessibility" since I believe it's an accessibility issue.
