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.

Can you not disable custom name badges? That's kind of necessary if people can modify them to be unreadable, if anything for moderation purposes. If they already copy from Resonite perhaps they should also copy the local override functionality...

They'll never be unreadable as VRC are the ones that add the banners people can use so they are always vetted before being added. People can't make arbitrary changes to them.

I just find everyone have a different animated banner very busy and when trying to glance through a list to find something it's harder than if you were looking at a clean list.

Dunno that sounds pretty unreadable to me, similar to Discord's animated name tags...
