discord's dumbest update...

Discord has revolutionized the internet. Gone are the days of Discord bots. Welcome to the era of Discord apps.

Yep. There's a video about how Discord changed the name of bots to apps. However this isn't 10 minutes and 37 seconds of yap. Because it turns out there are SOME valid reasons for this change (and there is also a real reason that makes me question the mental state of Discord)

On the other hand though, there are a handful of new discord experiments that are coming out for bots. And these beta features will improve Discord bots/apps and give them more tools to make our lives a bit easier (with good formatting).

Oh and a viewer also found a bug that allows you to crash everyone's Discord...

4:54 This isn't actually the case. You could always use buttons outside of embeds, it's just that people tended to use embeds. The actual change here is inline buttons, which means you can have them in the middle of a message, instead of at the bottom.

Keeping a tally of stuff discord is doing thats downright stupid:
- Not removing "Join Servers for You" permission
- Letting bots be named "Discord" and "Discord Support"

Changing the bot's name to 'apps' definitely won't be confusing at all when you remember the mobile and desktop apps exist

[pitust]

I love how the CSS class name for the "APP" label is called "botText". Gotta love consistency.

0:27 "This change is f*cking pointless" You're so real for that

[thecroll]

wow, I can imagine some guy sitting in the localization office and saying, “Hey, why don’t we change “бот” to “приложение” in russian localization", and then after an hour of testing, he is like “we screwed up. change it back to "бот".

Changing the name of bots to apps is like changing twitter to X.
But, well at least Discord had more reason to do it.
Overall good changes for bots- apps at least.

... I'm gonna keep calling them bots.

"Elongated Muskrat" killed me 😂😂😂

Discord running around like headless chickens trying to figure out how to run the platform. But hey, at least we got some good 'app' tools

Program? App
Website? App
Game? App
Script? App
Bot? App
Daemon? App
Service? App
OS Kernel? Believe it or not, app

6:29 most commenters: ARE YOU CHALLENGING ME?

[TorchesUponStars]

As a PluralKit user, I’m just happy that my posts (reskinned via script) aren’t going to be confused with posts from a chatbot when people unfamiliar with the tool see them.

thank you for pitching down the transition ping sound effect, kept freaking out it was me

[NeuNeur]

this gave me the exact same feeling that i get when roblox changed places into experiences.

Discord finally doing something other than changing the mobile UI: 💀

[IndigoPolecat]

8:12 This isn't the fault of the user, but rather Microsoft (as far as you can get with victim blaming at least). As you mentioned the form has a warning to not submit a password, however there is no indication from Microsoft that the "single use code" is a password, simply that it can be "used with your account" which sounds a lot like a verification code.

[Liggliluff]

It's actually cool that Discord does use translations for those things. Other platforms would just ignore it.

[DazlMusic]

This is the update of all time. I can't believe how much they improved the!
