the joke lands harder if you aren't a billion dollar corporation harvesting user data without their consent and handing immense power to corrupt governments and data brokers globally, eroding internet freedom

idk the cute act just doesn't really work here

[Discord @discord]

when you launch an extremely popular age assurance update that everyone on Discord was really looking forward to and it has bugs

[Valour.gg • Chat for Communities @ValourApp]

@RcvdVid And the Discord app has a new exploit surface for the next time they have a hack or breach

[Valour.gg • Chat for Communities @ValourApp]

My security senses just jumped off a cliff

[Wumpus Central @WumpusCentral]

Discord is working on a "Pass the Controller" feature that allows viewers to take control over a streamed game.

@Eltee7xxx You won't believe what we have

[Valour.gg • Chat for Communities @ValourApp]

DMs should be private.

[Krispy Chicken Sandwich 🍗🥪 @Kepler_443b]

I sent a friend a nsfw gif through dms like I’ve sent them a thousand times before…

I’m officially done with discord, fuck that site raw in the ass with a cactus

[Valour.gg • Chat for Communities @ValourApp]

Report system so bad you can extort people into clicking links because they think a false report will lead to a ban 😭😭

[Blake The Nerd (Creator + VTuber) @Blake_TheNerd]

WARNING FOR DISCORD USERS!

There is a new kinda hack going on, where your 'friend' (aka the hacked account) will dm you a fake email screenshot telling you that "someone reported all users under friends" in hopes that you'll fall for it and add the account shown in the screenshot.

DO NOT add the account, as they will most likely hack into your account next. Stay safe out there 🫡

@bayaning_roblox We actually *removed* link masking from the Markdown pipeline we use because it seemed like a terrible idea to have haha

[Valour.gg • Chat for Communities @ValourApp]

@Rindar14 @Kepler_443b We don't collect location data. Take that for what you will when hitting the "I do not live in Texas" button.

[Valour.gg • Chat for Communities @ValourApp]

@spencerzataylor We might get creative :)

[Valour.gg • Chat for Communities @ValourApp]

might as well get duo support in there while we get ios working

[Valour.gg • Chat for Communities @ValourApp]

We're not even hardline anti AI use for development at Valour, but it's funny because a majority of Discord users are incredibly anti-AI while Discord uses it for moderation, topic summaries, etc and it is just sort of ignored.

[Valour.gg • Chat for Communities @ValourApp]

Odd overlap with the new prevalence of AI models which can easily port things to rust

[Discord Previews @DiscordPreviews]

Over the past few days Discord's CTO has hinted at a big update: a rewrite of the desktop client that moves it away from Electron to a fully native client in Rust.

[Valour.gg • Chat for Communities @ValourApp]

@legal_et See we aren't on iOS at all yet so it doesn't apply to us ;)

[Valour.gg • Chat for Communities @ValourApp]

*coughing dramatically*

Hello, Theo 😉

[Theo - t3.gg @theo]

Alternative framing: I expect Discord to be out of business within 2 years

[Valour.gg • Chat for Communities @ValourApp]

@JRJ365DAMAGE @osmiumchat We don't have funding :(

[Valour.gg • Chat for Communities @ValourApp]

@yuyui_cs We do NOT use mongo db

[Valour.gg • Chat for Communities @ValourApp]

Not forums, but *messages*?!

Since Valour is encrypted we literally could not do this to you btw

[Dexerto @Dexerto]

Discord will soon make public server messages searchable on Google

The feature will be enabled by default for US adults, but users can opt out in their privacy settings

[Valour.gg • Chat for Communities @ValourApp]

Hey everyone. We don't use PHP.

[Valour.gg • Chat for Communities @ValourApp]

@WumpusCentral 💀💀

[Valour.gg • Chat for Communities @ValourApp]

An actual usable feature? That doesn't require Nitro?

Hm. Okay, we won't make fun of this one.

[Wumpus Central @WumpusCentral]

Discord is planning to add voice message recording to the desktop and web app

[Valour.gg • Chat for Communities @ValourApp]

Three. You get three free favorites, and then you have to pay for nitro lmao

[Wumpus Central @WumpusCentral]

Discord is releasing "Favorites" feature to everyone!

You can now pin whatever matters most: channels, DMs, group chats, threads, voice chats and forums.

Keep it all organized exactly how you like with custom folders and drag-and-drop reordering.

Currently available to canary release channel users and coming soon to stable.
