Discord now allows users to send “silent” messages to other users. When a silent message is sent, the recipient won’t receive a push or desktop notification from the Discord application. However, they’ll still be able to see the “notification dot” that tells them they have a new message to read.

Our guide will show you how to send silent messages on Discord.
