In early March 2024, Discord revealed that “sponsored quests”, or ads would be added to the platform to help “support game developers” through the popular chat app.

Discord didn’t initially share a release date, or even how they’re going to implement ads into Discord’s overall design, other than mentioning that the sponsored quests would “tastefully” be integrated.

A report from The Wall Street Journal claims that Discord’s sponsored quests will be landing on the platform this week, and will be displayed at the bottom left of the app.

      The nice thing about federation is we no longer have to put up with anyone’s shit.

        The annoying thing about federation is that we have to convince our friends to stop putting up with it. Not an actual argument against. I just wish I could convert everyone I follow over.

          Their frustration will eventually be the largest determining factor. Some may never catch on.

            Never underestimate the power of frustration lol, just start subtly dropping hints after they complain about something on their preferred app and someday the straw will break the camels back.

            It’s easy for people to deal with BS when they’re thinking it’s the same BS everywhere, but once they know that there is an app that has less or no BS like that…

            Or what do I know I never build up the conversation skill tree and high AF lmao

      There’s no good discord alternatives with all the features unfortunately. It’s a wait and see type of thing.
