Discord is getting mobile ads

Oh. This is their vision quest optional ad thing. Not that its great but these exist on desktop already, and can be completely disabled in settings. This post just now reminded me that they made that, I turned it off and completely forgot.
They also say that the option to disable it will exist on mobile too. Its shitty that there are ads at all but this is about the least offensive option I've ever seen. Can't promise it won't creep out and get worse later but yeah.

Its shitty that there are ads
i mean there has to be a way to fund the business. ads are fine as long as there is a way to remove them through options or paying a reasonable fee.
-
The setting says "If you opt out you might still see Quest promotions, but they won't be personalized to your activity". I'm on Nitro Basic (The 3 dollar a month plan.) and I don't see any method for disabling them completely.
-
They already offer a subscription service. And on top of that they have not-so-microtransactions in their shop.

Welp it was a nice run. What’s up element?
-
Enshittification ahoy !
-
This is to test the waters for desktop ads I'm sure of it.
-
These are the desktop ads that are already there, they’re bringing the quests (that, for now, have an off switch) to mobile

Oh no…… anyway Here something discord alike that you can selfhost or join the existing instance.
-
Shame its not federated. Makes the self hosting aspect kinda unappealing if I'd need to access a different instance for different servers.
-
-
wat no
-
That’s why I am moving out of discord, making it worse and have less features and now adding ads to communicator. Who had this genius idea?

Advertisers

I stop using it occasionally since I get annoyed with missing features but the snappy-ness of the pre react app is so nice whenever I come back.
-
-
What about nitro users?
-
Fewer ads. Not zero, though
-
Best keep my ad blocker on then :)

This is a good excuse for us to cancel.

Does anyone know of an lgbt+ safe pokemon server for gaming and discussion on Matrix
-
Is there one on matrix.org? I don't use Matrix much.
Maybe blahaj.zone's server has a Pokemon channel
-

Welp, good thing I don't use discord on mobile. We'll see how it goes when they come to desktop.
-
Read the article. Its the quest thingy that's been on desktop for like a year.
-
I've literally never noticed an ad on desktop since I joined discord in like 2010.

People are losing their minds over this title but the content itself isn't that big of a deal. It's a completely optional and ignorable feature that's tied into something you probably won't be clicking on anyway.
-
I’m so glad I’m still on October 19, 2023 release. I don’t have the new shitty UI that they implemented over a year ago, but I also can’t see forwarded message. Oh well. No loss really since I can just check those on my desktop later.
-
Uninstalled. And thanks for all the
fishfps. -
See you guys in IRC.

Discomfort.

Look, the quiet part, right in the open.
Hate this marketing, player-centric advertising platform is an oxymoron.
