There is this stupid f****** ad on the top right of our discord (and were even using a client to block their ad stuff / to fix their UI breaking updates) and they broke the gift literally everyone nitro for a while and was showing up no matter how hard we tried to block it and now theirs a pernament leaf that directs you to their ad. WE haven't clicked it as we don't want to get into it, but apparently our friend with the same client clicked the didn't ask button and it kept crashing their discord, so they had to look at this stupid banner across all of discord yesterday. We're so close to stop waiting for a competent matrix client and make one ourselves just to get the fuck off discord ffs. And if your wondering, the only coding skills we have is HTML and CSS- we do art stuff so to go as far to say F**** REALLY LOUDLY BOOTING UP OUR PC TODAY AND WANT TO START LEARNING HOW TO CODE JUST TO MAKE A NEW PLATFORM IS A WHOLE OTHER LEVEL >:(

You know what F*** IT MAYBE WE WILL oiuerhbgfiuerbhgiuhernbiueairhgiuhertoiu

It's probably a avatar decoration that only lasts for a short time lol.

This time it's a (permanent?) profile badge. (also it's their april fools stuff but still it's annoying.)

Is there an XMPP client that you like?

Will be honest, have not looked into XMPP. Our biggest thing is text messages, sending files, voice calls, video sharing, and server stuffs. If you know a client that can do this lmk and we’re there

We looked into it and it’s some game they made that covers your entire discord client to fight some dragon. Like, ok cool?? But why didn’t they announce it the way they do normal updates or events? This isn’t the first time they’ve dubbed pop ups and it feels more like a test to see how many people clicked it in order to do marketing research

Trying to appeal to the users of Discord???

I believe that it can, but the last time I was using XMPP was some time back, and I only was using for text messaging.

looks

It apparently has an protocol extension, Jingle, which provides this, but I've no experience with it, so I couldn't advise much there.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XMPP

Designed to be extensible, the protocol offers a multitude of applications beyond traditional IM in the broader realm of message-oriented middleware, including signalling for VoIP, video, file transfer, gaming and other uses.

Voice and Video chat can be done via the Jingle XMPP Extension Protocol, XEP-0166.

How dare they lmao

Thank you, we’ll look into this!
