Re-Add the Ability to Use Spaces in Channel Names.
So previously, users had the free ability to use spaces (rather than the usual hyphens) within their channel names to allow them the ability to give their channels a new, concise, and personalized look alongside emoji/symbol usage to their interest (for example, #👋 — welcome).
This was easily made possible with the help of bot owners and developers who wanted to give Discord users a chance to have the option to be able to do this so that it wouldn't be a "#💬-channel-with-many-dashes" as opposed to "#💬 — very less dashes".
One of the few recent updates that have been implemented to the service hardly make this possible. While it was not an intended function from the service itself, that does not mean it should be refrained from operating. I am not aware of the specific methods that are used to cause such a change because of the fact that Discord auto-formats it to the normal and typical dash-per-phrase, but it would really result in many server owners and managers contributing to its re-addition.
If anything, I would strongly prefer an official consideration for it in a future update rather than users having to rely on bots to make this change possible.

Agreed. This is really important for channels with long names, and just in general to improve channel names. With dashes, channel names look bad. A solution is not to avoid using spaces, because this is just makes words confusing to read. We need this back. I have no idea why people are downvoting this suggestion!

I can agree with that as well. There is no downside to re-implementing this addition because channel names can still be mentioned in the message bar simply by typing phrases of the name, not including emojis and/or symbols. If the developers were to make this an option firsthand, people would not be able to see any negative impacts or intuit with it, because the only purpose of spaces in channel names is to give them a personalized appearance.

Guys please upvote this post.. I really need spaces back in my life. I have OCD, and I can't live with my old channels looking fresh and unique, and new ones all shabby with dashes

I so agree with everyone here. Like the spaces is just an aesthetic preference, the servers that implemented it had no problems mentioning their channels and will have a really hard time going back to dashes. Why did discord bother to patch such a simple thing. Like a space. is that even too much to ask!

Agreed! I don't really see a reason why text channels shouldn't have Spaces considering the Categories and Voice Channels magically have them :)

I just found out about this when I tried to space one of my channel names. Honestly, the dashes look really ugly. And now my server is a hot mess. Most channels still have the space, but then the newest channels have the dashes. And I really don’t want to edit the old channels and remove the space. With the space it looks so much cleaner. Please allow us to space our channels again.

Very much agreed not just for aesthetics (the dashes are ugly) but for accessibility. channel-name-with-many-dashes is a little harder to read than channel name with spaces! Though, rather than re-adding the work-around I think it would be nice if Discord just innately allowed users to put spaces in channel names without having to use a bot to do so.
Since you can already @Mention users with spaces in their usernames, spaces in channels shouldn't interfere with being able to link to them, but if they would you can always have it so linking to a channel uses its ID (i.e. 1234567890123) after the # instead of the name, which already works as an alternative. (You can link to channels and mention users and roles with <@1234567890123>, <#1234567890123>, and <@&1234567890123> already.) (Also, emoji are already allowed!)

Agreed.

I don't understand why they insist on keeping those ugly dashes
13 -
exactly bro why are there even dashes
11 -
Agreed! Give us our spaces back.
10 -
Please!!!! We need the spaces for the channels so they look more organized! 🙏🏼

Agreed! The spaces look so much cleaner. What is the reason for the hyphens, anyway? And why do only voice channels get spaces and caps in the names?

I created a bot (named Space) to make it simple to make Discord channels look neat by replacing dashes with a "space" using two thin spaces (U+2009), which is no longer working. Very unfortunate that it is no longer working.
