minus-squareRentlar@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up9·edit-21 year agoI got a thing that said “Lootboxes!” On the bottom right. I tried ignoring it for a day but that didn’t seem to work. So, I clicked the “Didn’t ask” button. We’ll see how much Discord tries to test me before I jump ship to Matrix or Revolt.
minus-squareGrunt4019@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up6·1 year agoI clicked on that, it was actually just an April fools joke, there was nothing to buy.
minus-squareGrunt4019@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoYeah I agree, not defending discord just wanted to point out the April fools joke.
minus-squareRentlar@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 year agoYeah… to me it was just another one of those UI elements (like the Nitro Menu, games, etc.) that I just don’t touch. Sure it’s an April fools joke, but the prospect of introducing ads seem just as much an April fools as what they did.
