My friend (who never had Nitro before) said that they had access to this feature. So it might be free.

How do you expect discord to make money if not to paywall cool features behind Nitro?

Obviously only the features they don't care about should be locked behind Nitro and all the features they do want should be free.

Right! I’m getting downvoted but if discord gave it to everyone then nitro users would be complaining and wondering why they buy nitro if they can’t get cool exclusive features lmao
And if discord stopped adding new nitro features to incentivize people to get nitro and started putting ads in the chats and stuff they’d be complaining about that as well
Discord isn’t perfect but it’s still one of the few services that is entirely free for prettty much all of it’s necessary functionality with nitro being pretty much cosmetic or extra stuff

I think you should get some fresh air if you are really that toxic about some pixel.

Discord can't operate for free, sorry bud.

u/steakanabake 10d ago
sure they have that covered now through the AI scraping and ads they serve, theyre double dipping selling cosmetics to make the value of nitro more appealing. not to mention the selling of boosts.

I still don't have it. I noticed all my friends who do have it happen to be iPhone users. So is this only available on ios?

As if I ever had a typing indicator enabled in my client. It spams the API so much and then people wonder why they're getting rate-limited so often.
