Add the option to DISABLE Auto-scroll
This post refers to PC Discord.
For a long time, auto-scrolling to the bottom was annoying(for me), but not TOO annoying. Discord would auto-scroll you to the bottom if you haven't loaded/entered another set of older messages in history, I think, but since the newest update, this has become a lot worse(also for me).
The auto-scrolling was switched so that you only auto-scroll(to the very bottom) on either of these three occasions:
1. Post a message in the channel
2. Have a message in view that gets edited or reacted to(?!)
3. Are currently at the very, very bottom of the chat and someone messages while the app is in focus.
I've seen many users complain about the fact that now auto-scrolling doesn't happen if you're out of focus and, this is annoying too and I would want it fixed, but this post isn't about that.
The reason this is annoying is because this change DESTROYS bot experience. Some(or maybe even many) bots offer games that you could play, which often revolve around reactions and editing messages. If someone chooses to scroll up to view older messages while something is ongoing, the newest update makes it nearly IMPOSSIBLE.
In my experience, as a typical weeb, I play the Mudae bot which reacts to messages which are pretty tall image embeds. However, if even the slightest portion of that embed is in view, Mudae is having problems or delay with reacting and you happen to want to go up to respond, you will be FORCED BACK, making you suffer disadvantages just because of the way the app was built.
Obviously, my complaint is very subjective. There is a large part of the Discord user base who never use such bots, who would rather use auto-scroll in such a manner. Because of that, I am only requesting an OPTION to exist so that you can disable auto-scroll.

I agree completely. For any busy chat, a feature that gives more precise control over auto-scroll is a must. A setting for the auto-scroll's "sensitivity" would accommodate users unable to scroll up faster than a busy chat's auto-scroll can keep them down, literally. It would be especially useful for people with a less-than-stellar internet connection, because they're usually unable to out-scroll the auto-scroll when a sudden rush of messages pop in without having to wait for the chat to die down enough.
