Your use case

What would you like to do?

I would like to not see typing indicators at all, much like read receipts.

Why would you like to do it?

I have an anxiety disorder and typing indicators severely impact how I interact with people. The recent update put typing indicators into a much harder to ignore place, as well.

How would you like to achieve it?

An option in preferences under "timeline" that hides typing notifications in all places.

Have you considered any alternatives?

No.

I know it's probably not the right thing to advertise other apps in issue trackers, but since this can affect someone's mental health, maybe you can accept it this time.
@Fidgetcetera I recommend trying Syphon until this is added in Element. In Syphon, you can disable both incoming and outgoing typing indicators.
