Option to op out of voice chat bar

Please give us an option to not have to see who is currently in what voice chats. Since the feature has been implemented I can think of zero times it has aided me in being social. Instead, it has triggered my anxiety and enabled my clinical depression. The fomo, the social anxiety. It’s not okay. I have been using discord less this past year and it’s largely due to not wanting to unfriend people who I do t want to see in that bar.

Please please please give us an option to turn it off.
