Discord to start showing ads in the coming week after resisting for almost a decade
In an apparent effort to boost revenues, gaming social media startup Discord plans to implement ads into its free service. The step is expected in the coming days after 9 years of ad-free experience.
I don't think people on this sub use it, but it's great news for us. The worse it gets the likelier people move on.
You're viewing part of a thread.
Have you used this protocol at all? You CAN receive messages when offline, this is not IRC. And media uploads don't seem to be such a problem.
Yes, I have. With various clients. It sucked.
I just don't get what you're referring to when it comes to "not receiving messages while offline". The only thing that comes to mind that does this by design is OTR, but that's outdated anyway...
OMEMO didn't allow it either, and IIRC I couldn't do it while doing it in plaintext either.
Weird, never got such issues. OMEMO is what I use in my DMs, and it was designed with offline messages in mind (and it does work for me). I know this sounds like "works on my machine", but this is the first time I hear about this happening consistently.
Yeah, man. I tested with a friend. We used Pidgin, Dino, all the famous clients. I don't know what's up.
Ah, okay. Weird. I have used it between Gajim, Conversations, Dino and some terminal one I don't remember (used by the online friend).
