Want to get rid of a Discord server that feels too crowded, and you have lost your interest? Then, you should leave that server to keep your app self-organized. This article is a complete guide on how to leave a Discord server to avoid unnecessary things.
Why To Leave A Discord Server?
Discord server is a communication tool that lets you interact with your friends. It is a messaging tool that was mainly made to be used by gamers, but different groups and communities now use it. You can use a discord server to interact with people who have similar interests as you.
However, there can be a time when you no longer want to be in a discord server because you might not agree with the members, you are not able to gel up with other people, the group is not active anymore, or you landed up in the wrong server.
Once you leave a Discord server, you will not be able to send or receive messages or notifications from that server. Your name will be removed from the list of members, and along with that your role in the server will also be turned off.

Now, if you want to leave a server that has a channel, you can’t leave that server without others noticing. This is because the channel logs members who leave.
