Did you know...?

To celebrate this 👻spooky🎃 month of october, discord added a animation to their phone app, highlighting and adding tenebrous effects to the "Gift" button, many people may not know this but this is actually a reference to the fact that using that button implies giving money to discord, and that is very, very scary

does this kind of thing actually make people more likely to click a button and pay money?

Very likely yes. Otherwise, they wouldn't spend development time on this.

Translation:

Did you know that Discord added another completely useless feature that bloats their application? It highlights and lags your app with distracting effects to the "Gift" button, of which also bloats on the chat bar, making it smaller and more difficult to hit. Many people know this because Discord is a greedy piece of shit that beg for your money, as they critically believe they are more poor than the average programmer who graduated after 20 years. That is frightening.

god i'm so going to move to a app that is nowhere as popular leaving all my online connections behind just because I have some slightly mild complains about the monetization side of the app

either I spend more time using messaging apps or I reduce the time using discord to move to the app where I have no friends so in either scenario it's just not worth it

also, shoutout to OT for once again going richard stallman at a shitpost thread

I haven't update my mobile Discord ever since that UI changes.

Because the UI is dark?

If you are on a computer, you should be seeing text exactly the same as the original, but changing color. This is code that ChatGPT made for me months ago.

If you are not on a computer, or something seems to have gone wrong:
This is a static image, so it doesn't change color like the original one:

shoutout to companies for failing to actually show up to legal stuff and getting blocked in a country for that exact same reason it has happened like twice in the last few months that's crazy

another scary fact is that they may not show up to stuff because they're ghosts... did you know the discord offices were built in top of the remains of a haunted hause which was built on top of a graveyard where a very bad man was buried...

Is there actually any viable Discord alternative which has all the features of Discord? Discord has a tendency to seriously lag my laptop when I'm playing a game.

Perhaps Revolt chat? It is in heavy development and the team is very small, so yeah...

I'd give it a shot if I can convince more people to use it.

Ngl nitro basic is enough. U don’t need to spend 10 dollars where you barely can do anything with it, other than flexing your profile n stuff

But either way buying nothing is even better. Just ignore the ghost teasing animation and save it for something more worth it
