Describe your issue

Below you can see that there is a quite noticeable amount of space between messages. Even when emote scaling is set below the threshold where it creates extra spacing, I find that there is too much spacing which triggers my auts.

This is a suggestion, not an issue. Please carefully read and follow the issue templates - which would've lead you to creating a discussion:

I've also updated this one, I figured it's essentially impossible to fix the spacing when scaling emotes too large. Let me know what you think 🤔

[romeogiggletoes]

I think an option for messages to be able to specify how much spacing between them, with the ability to also overlap them is ideal. This can be done by having a drop down menu where you can also type a custom value.

My goal would be to make chat look closer like this:

With smaller emote scaling; normal is on left, edited is right: (retook this image with properly sized badges)

Also when editing I found that the badges are a little bit bigger than the text, so maybe resizable badges or just straight up making them a bit smaller could be a useful addition. Figured I can just increase font sizes and decrease interface zoom to work around the badge sizes, spacing between messages though is still an issue.
