How can I disable channel drag and drop in Discord?
When using Discord in a web browser, on a server where I have admin privileges, I sometimes find that I've accidentally moved a channel, which affects everyone on the server and can affect channel permissions, so that's bad. You move channels by clicking and dragging, but apparently the interface is more sensitive than I'm used to: I think when this happens I move the mouse to a channel and click on it to *view* it, but maybe the mouse was still slightly in motion when I clicked? I'm not sure, but training myself isn't working and I don't have this problem with other UIs. I'm looking for a way to add some friction so I can't accidentally do this, without giving up my admin rights in general. (I do need those.) I searched for a way to lock the channels or otherwise prevent this and found lots of other people with my problem ([1](https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360061234951-Ability-to-disable-channel-drag-and-drop) [2](https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360058774912-Option-to-Prevent-Moving-Channels-Accidentally) [3](https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360032417112-Suggestion-Lock-channel-positions)), but no solutions. A client-side solution (for example a userscript) would be fine (but I don't know enough to write it). I'm not interested in switching to an app; I want to use Discord in my browser. How can I stop accidentally messing with the channels list?
