I don't think it's possible for community admins to have any control over notifications; Those are entirely under your control. That said, I agree with you; those settings can get messy and difficult to manage.

They're referring to the default notification settings that admins can set. Annoyingly, the Discord default (when you create a new server) is "All Messages" and not "Only @mentions". Sometimes I find another server still on "all messages" for some reason.

It is literally right click mute on channels or servers plus you get the choice for how long you want to mute.
If that is too difficult to manage ...
Sure it's possible to change, but it's not good. It's really a regression from previous group chat applications. The post I was replying to was arguing that discord is popular because it had a good UI.

To me it is good UI at least for that, because "Where do you set the volume for a single user?" Well just right click exactly on that user! Where else? It cannot be in global options and it would be too much info for always displaying it under each user name. It belong in that context menu. Solid UI for me.
