    I 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.

      I clicked on that, it was actually just an April fools joke, there was nothing to buy.

        Yeah… 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.

        Seems in pretty poor taste to on one day say, “haha fooled you, as if we’d do something so silly as lootboxes hahah”, then literally the same week launch a new strategy of putting extra ads in. Just seems tonedeaf no?

          Yeah I agree, not defending discord just wanted to point out the April fools joke.
