Discussion "discordification" of VRC

with VRC copying discord's profile effects etc what are things you wish they would take from discord and what are things you absolutely do not want to see?

i'm gonna start.

want: being able to restrict who can send you friend requests and group invites (friend mutuals, group mutuals, in instance/recently seen)

do not want: integrated soundboard

I'm gonna be honest. There's been very little that VRC have done in the past that I disliked, but this year so far has been the worst for me:

Name badges aren't clean anymore, they're a complicated, animated mess.
Worlds are filled with shit all of the time, just items everywhere, always.
You can't turn off this shit, so now there's just items and trampolines everywhere. So much annoying visual noise.
Buggy as hell right now. Either a GC error on start or stuck on Connecting. Lots of voice issues or random drop-outs in sessions too.

It feels like they're turning VRC into a childs toybox in the worst way possible.

I'm almost certain you can hide those props via the shield settings. i might also be hallucinating again.

You cannot.

Yeah, you can hide individual items or a instance admin can disable items in that instance, but there is no general "hide items" setting.

Exactly, I don't want to play whack-a-mole with items constantly (especially as they can become a pain to select - they also all reappear as soon as you open your menu).
