Method 2: Use the tildes symbol to Cross out Text in Discord
In this method, you’ll need to use double tildes (~~) before and after the text you want to strike through. For example, if you want to cross out the word “hello,” you would type it like this: ~~hello~~.
Once you’ve enclosed the text with tildes, simply hit the Enter key or click the Send button to send your message. Discord will automatically format the text as strikethrough when it’s sent.
Here’s an example: If you type “~~This is a crossed-out message~~”, it will appear as: This is a crossed-out message.
