Blocked users data is being downloaded

[lfersan]

Currently all data is being downloaded, anyway to ignore data from blocked users? Up to version 41.1 it was the case, post that version all data is downloaded

wondering if something changed for this to be the case.

You can remove messages from specific users in the Viewer tab, but you would have to do that every time you track new messages from those users.

Yeah, tried that, not very useful since the data gets re-downloaded. ideally those users are permanently blacklisted or well, the blocked messages not downloaded if certain setting is enabled or something, should be optional

I agree an option would be useful, but imo it should still download the data, just hide blocked messages in the viewer. The purpose of an archival tool is to gather all the data and reproduce it as closely as possible; if you block someone on Discord, the messages still exist and you have an option to view them.

I agree on it still needing to download the data for archival purpose. Just needs better way of it being filtered or respecting if the original message was blocked.
