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!

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!

update Discord for your Checkpoint

we've added a Bypass Slowmode permission! I started working on this after seeing community admins ask for this for years - now you can make trusted members exempt from slowmode without giving them moderation powers! head to Server Settings to update your permissions.

It's time for a new Start. Raycast for Windows, available today. 👉 raycast.com/windows

i miss daylight saving time

Cloudflare Workers users: we have updated our rate limit system so you should no longer get incorrect 1015 rate limit errors while accessing Discord's API! I'm glad we've finally addressed this pain point to unlock reliable Discord integrations on Workers

(this is caused by bluesky rate limiting discord. if you are a bluesky employee reading this please actually check your fucking email. i want to fix this help me fix this)

apparently macOS 26.1 broke passing urls for sender images in notifications so now we have to download the image in the code

Discord notifications on iOS now render custom emoji inline!

aws outage? looks like canvas, notion, and asana are having issues

I've added a new component to modals: file uploads! your bot can now finally ask users to upload files right in a modal, along with other components, streamlining upload flows. a file upload component can accept only one file or multiple (up to 10), and supports all file types.

🎈 21!

the Fall 2025 Developer Platform Updates event is starting now in Discord Developers! discord.gg/discord-deve...

iOS 26.1 beta seems to finally fix the screenshot ui not showing up. huge upgrade

Bluesky is finally adding pronouns, website, and join date to profiles!

I have finished interning at Discord for the summer! I've had a great time building long-awaited features for bots, as well as various other updates. however, I'm excited to announce that I'm staying on at Discord in a part-time role while I finish college! (1/2)

ig bluesky has reached the size where it is not possible for a platform to have good moderation

yesterday, I released our second set of new modal components: text displays (with markdown!), user selects, role selects, mentionable selects, and channel selects! now you can use even more components previously restricted to messages to create powerful modals.

remember to come watch the Modal Components event in Discord Developers in an hour and a half! I'll be presenting what I've been working on this summer!

interesting that Bluesky calls bookmarks "saved posts". when we were building bookmarks at Discord, we considered calling them "saved messages", but we went with "bookmarks" because we thought "saved" might imply that it will store a copy even if the original message gets edited/deleted

on Wednesday at 11 AM Pacific, come watch the Discord Developers event where I'm presenting our new modal components! we might have some surprises in store for you 👀 discord.gg/discord-deve...

I've been working on modal components all summer, and I'm really excited to release the first piece of this: string select and label components in modals! You can finally put select menus in your bot's modals, and give more information with field descriptions!

wild @bart.gov ride today. a 1 train trip turned into a 4 train trip due to track problems

in addition to 5Xing the pin limit, we've also added a Pin Messages permission! you can now give non-mods the ability to pin 📌 and we made a video too youtu.be/0dNvgOOeSYs

imagine a place where modals have select menus

swipe to member list is back! if you want it, update the Discord app to version 290 and then change the swipe option in chat settings. I'll stick with the default swipe-to-reply though

I've updated the GIF picker on desktop and mobile to load GIFs faster, using newer formats! we now prefer WebP over raw GIF and WebM over MP4. we've seen dramatic improvements to loading speeds and bandwidth usage from this change!

we've shipped some cool updates to rich presence! now devs can choose which field they want to show as the status in the member list: name, details, or state. we also now support setting links for details, state, and images.

yesterday we increased the pin limit from 50 to 250, everywhere! this has been in the works for a long time and I'm glad that it's finally shipped - no more need to carefully decide which memes to unpin in the group chat!

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home. Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

this has been my first week back as an intern at Discord! this summer I'm focusing on building features for bots and apps - really excited to deliver updates that the bot dev community has been asking for!
