[Question] Does this allow you to hide certain messages from a user?

[frakman1]

Say you don't want to hide all messages from someone, just a few. Can you do that?

[ketanbhatt]

Hey @frakman1 no that is not possible at the moment.
Could you describe your usecase a little, I think it can be done with some effort.

[frakman1]

Use case: A person one corresponds with on slack sends links to images that eat up a ton of screen real estate and look unprofessional and tacky. One wants the ability to hide those messages and be left with just the textual correspondence with said individual without all the clutter and mess.

You can now set preferences for expanding images/web pages etc. in Slack itself: https://get.slack.help/hc/en-us/articles/204399343-Share-links-and-set-preview-preferences#manage-link-previews

@annarailton Thank you but that is a global preference. I want to be able to do it on a per-message basis.

Hey, it could be done, but really depends on if others have the same usecase, otherwise the program will become complex.
