</div>

also i think you can write all that code something more compact like this:

```scss
.sidebar-section[data-section-name="community"], .sidebar-section[data-section-name="tags"], .sidebar-section[data-section-name="messages"], .sidebar-section[data-section-name="chat-channels"], .sidebar-section[data-section-name="chat-dms"] {display: none}

```
