[Request/Suggestion] Privacy options for friends list
Being able to set up profiles on servers is great, but I wish we had similar options for our friendslist. Either privacy options or the ability to sort friends into different categories, with different settings. Like being able to hide our username, or being able to make our own nickname show as something different for different friends.
Hard to explain but as an example:
Person 1 is a close friend, I don't mind if he sees what my username or account name is. I would like for them to see my real life nickname, or my personal online handle I often use, that I consider to be “my name”.
Person 2 is a rando I play matches with in video games and I would like to maintain some anonymity between us. I don't want them to know my account name and I would prefer if they didn't know my personal online handle.
Person 3 is a customer and I would like to maintain some professionalism even across something like discord. I would like to set my discord nickname to show up as my online shop name for them.
“Why don't you just accept requests from only friends” I could, but it can be useful to have other contacts saved and the idea that we ONLY ever have close friends on our friendslist is imo outdated. Discord is pretty much the standard messaging app right now, and I think the reality for a lot of people (though of course not everyone) is that its less a friends list and more of a contact list.
Not everyone on that list is equal, in terms of trust and it would at least be nice to have some more options other than “change your username” (which of course I have done).
