    If the user blocked you, you will see "reaction blocked" or the Discord window shake.
    • Reactions also fail if you no longer have reaction permissions for a specific channel.

    On a desktop, this is hidden under the triple dots.

    If your message fails to send, then it is possible they blocked you.
    • Be aware that if their DMs are "closed" (i.e. they have DMs turned off from members of a particular server), then you will also not be able to send them a message unless you added them as a friend or if they share a server where they have their DMs open.

    If you are blocked, the friend request will fail with an error similar to that of adding a user that does not exist.
