I've also been on Discord since 2017, and I've done it many times. Especially on servers which put voice channels right next to text channels. And I'm not the only one either, judging by another comment[0].

The app is even worse! It brings a full-screen pop-up and if you haven't granted Discord microphone permissions, it will bug you, every, single, time.
- falsenapkin 3y agoMaybe ask the server admins to make a voice channel category and then not only are text/voice separated/grouped but you can collapse the voice category when not using a voice channel. I really just don't see this problem, it's not even that I haven't done it but also I don't see other people doing it. To be fair though, like half the servers I'm active in organize their channels in this separated way. Anyway, I think opt-in for some kind of friction makes sense.
- steveklabnik 3y agoPart of the issue here is that historically, audio channels didn't have any association with text channels, and so you'd find setups where people would pair them up and interleave them. Nowadays each audio channel has an associated text channel, making it a lot easier.
