Fun fact: editing a message to ping someone else won't ping the person you pinged after the edit

[fytgfun]

a true discordian knows that if you edit your message with another ping, it doesnt ping the edited person.

[zodiacsignsdontexist]

if you delete the message, itll just be a ghost ping, and everyone will still get notified

I hate when i accidentally ping everyone in the general channel 😎

Tip to Spam Ping your friend: Ping around 2 - 4 times, which isn't too much that it's spam. Now delete one and resend the ping, and repeat the process. And there you go! Spam pinging without even having anyone realize.

Everyone asks "Why Ping" but nobody asks "How is Ping"

[dxbstyle]

now i understand why you think its to hard to remember 4 numbers behind your username. You aren't even able to spell the username in front of them!

I'll be sure to do this next time! And not forget to do @everyone in popular servers!

People are upset with Discord over the username changes and cancelling their Nitro subscriptions. "I've got it! Let's make a 1 minute quirky PR video! Then they'll forget everything!"

[NumberOnePochitaFan]

"sup fellow kids this is what you do when you ping the wrong person, do you want to buy nitro yet? we're so hip and up to date, so you should buy nitro"

[GDGroundflower]

it's so awesome how discord actually makes the effort to be funny

[TypewritR]

you KNOW its over when DISCORD says "gg"

[overr]

idk if deleting the message after accidentally pinging someone would be the best choice, but i guess it depends. i think in most cases, its better to apologize instead of making a ghost ping lol.

[EddieWelch-hkvs]

I Didn't even realise that this was from the official discord channel💀

[bucketttz]

fun fact: releasing this "fun quirky video" won't undo the mistake they made with this new update :)

[nepp-]

wouldn't deleting the ping be a ghost ping? I don't think people would appreciate that...

[zaydenmYT]

Gonna be real, this won't make people forget about the awful usename update.

[xainethewicker]

Okay cool, this wont hide the new username update that we all hate. Classic move to go deaf on user feedback and ignore all the downsides it brings.

[muneebhaider]

yall should next make a video on how we can survive the terrible updates yall have been cookin recently

[NamNguyen-fden]

This PR Video is great but it won’t revert the amount of people angry at the decision that the head of your company made to remove the discriminators (also the fact that you made nitro subcribers get first dibs is just shameless)
