What is Slow Mode on Discord?
The name of this feature is pretty self-explanatory. With the slow mode enabled, there will be a limit imposed on the number of messages a user can send on a particular channel for the specified time being. Situations like these are found to arise rather commonly, where several members of a channel are messaging continuously. The time limit for which texts can be limited isn’t exorbitant; it ranges from 5 seconds to 6 hours. In a group of, let’s say 5 people, the number of messages can run into the late hundreds in no time and for someone who wasn’t online at the time, it can be a bit annoying. With Slow Mode, the chaos can be cooled down. Users should note that the Slow Mode is meant to work only on the channels to set it up for i.e. there isn’t a server-wide Slow Mode. So if you want messages on several channels to be slowed down, you’re going to have to implement it on each one separately.
