glad that Apple fixed the window corner radii in macOS 27, I'm gonna skip Tahoe and go straight to Golden Gate

The Trump administration has made it increasingly difficult for hospitals to provide pediatric trans care. But instead of consulting parents and legislators, we talked to the actual children whose lives are at stake. Read more from Grace Byron with this gift link: buff.ly/f0SEtXg

Californians, remember to vote by 8 pm tonight!

the team is looking for feature requests! we have a Reddit megathread www.reddit.com/r/discordapp..., a forum channel in Discord Town Hall discord.gg/discord-town..., and a Tweet - please put your requests in one of these!

my friends and I got frustrated with accidentally calling our group chat, so I added a confirmation step to the call buttons in the mobile DM header!

the team has been cooking on improvements to our Linux client! youtu.be/BwNfmazmU4o

This, along with the new Linux update experience (no more "It's your lucky day" modal) are now out on stable. You can find download links for all the package formats at discord.com/download

Discord Linux users, must be your lucky day: you won't be seeing this anymore, the app now auto-updates! it's also now available in rpm and pkg.tar.zst formats, in addition to deb and tar.gz

nice to see Google going back to icons with different colors!

I don't use reply filters, but twitter's "accounts you follow and who they follow" is a cool option and bsky should probably add that. I get reasons for limiting replies, but it also has problems like reducing valid input, encouraging misinformation, and presumably making people follow just to reply

protip: you can quickly switch between servers and DMs on any Discord app Windows/Linux: ctrl alt → Mac: cmd opt → mobile with Tab Bar: double-tap the Home button mobile with You Bar: swipe right on the bar

It's okay to hate Meta and wish for its collapse and failure. But the two jury verdicts this week are not the vehicle for that. They're going to have widespread impact across the internet, and will do real damage to every other internet service.

bots can now use Discord's Search Guild Messages API endpoint! while getting it ready for public use, I fixed some long-standing issues and added new search functionality!

There are two main startup tasks for @discord.com: 1. Fetch and run all the JavaScript 2. Open a socket and get your data from the gateway Those were happening sequentially; now they are parallel! This improved P50 TTI by like 12%, over a second for many folks 📉 discord.com/blog/discord...

EFF is appalled by how quickly and uncritically internet restrictions are being adopted around the world, David Greene told CNET. "Even if they are under 18, or under 16, children have the right to access information, to speak and to associate.” www.cnet.com/tech/servic...

This week, Discord will begin enforcing E2EE on non-stage voice and video calls across desktop, mobile, web, and consoles. Took a few years to solve the edge cases and wait out deprecation times for older clients, but we're here. Really proud of the team today!

I've revamped context menu commands on Discord! commands are now organized by app, your frequently used commands are at the top, and a new search bar helps you quickly find commands. with this update, I also increased the command limit from 5 to 15!

Anthropic is based. great job standing up www.anthropic.com/news/stateme...

i was there!

we live in this weird trifecta: - at no time before has it been easier to research and validate a claim, rumor, etc - at no time before has it been easier to spin up a fake claim, rumor, etc (and people know this) - most people still believe the fake claim or rumor without attempting to validate

I've added more components to bot modals on Discord! you can now use radio buttons and checkboxes for cleaner UI.

it's wild how many people will believe and assume conspiracy theories. especially for things that can be verified

it really sucks when some countries pass restrictive laws that end up making the internet worse for everyone

Here's your friendly reminder that CSS selectors are global and evaluated RTL, so if you have selectors that are very broad like `.container > div` you might be impacting performance in a measurable way 🙈 Before and after profile of server switching after some selector optimizations in @discord.com

formats over apps

on Discord desktop, you can now type @ time to send a dynamic timestamp

Google killing the Tenor API is a bizarre move, they are making a great antitrust argument against them

i think a core beef that i have with a lot of this "automation is bad" sentiment lately is that there is no inherent moral good in laboring the story of humanity is one of invention, where we improve our conditions by building things that help us do more things more easily

📢 v1.113 is rolling out now! This release focuses on fixing bugs and improving the stability of the app. We also fixed an issue some of you reported about the app locking up while watching fullscreen videos. With that done, we have some bigger things planned to kick 2026 off right — more soon!

My mouse doesn't work properly because Logitech let one of their server certificates expire, so now their config software fails. What a time to be alive.

first week back from break! in December, we shipped a long-awaited change for communities: the Onboarding channel requirements have been removed!

extremely funny that my For You feed on here is just running on some guy's pc. i love atproto

Hard agree.

the For You feed is great. I agree that this is a win for the Bluesky ideals, but needing to find a third party feed is pretty bad for UX. I have friends who have stopped using Bluesky due to the Discover feed being bad (I've been mainly using Popular with Friends and Mutuals)

the success of the user-created For You feed while the official Discover feed flops is actually a pretty major win for Bluesky — it literally is the embodiment of their goal to decentralize feed generation and give users more control/autonomy

seems bad that the "rude" label is set to hide by default. personally I have all labels set to warn

Bluesky is rate limiting Discord's unfurler again, so Bluesky posts are unfortunately failing to embed in Discord. We reached out to the Bluesky team long ago to try to resolve this but didn't get a response. Bluesky team, please reach out (after the holidays) so we can find a solution!

rip bsky feeds

Reminding everyone for no particular reason that Section 230 is one of the last things standing between free speech online and Trump having control over everything you see and say on the internet

protip: open discord (on desktop) and type @time, there's a 1-in-4 chance something cool will happen

I see the bluesky app still breaks when you watch a video lol

JavaScript declarations in conditionals was discussed at TC39 recently, but consensus broke down over one key detail. How do you think it should behave?

if Congress repeals Section 230 or passes KOSA, the internet is screwed

we've done even more improvements to Cloudflare Worker integrations with Discord: Workers can now load message attachments and connect to our WebSocket gateway!
