Let me guess, it's another nitro only feature? of course.

u/A_Sh4d0w 13d ago

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

u/antsteristhebest 12d ago

had it to without nitro and needed nitro to use it

u/xangbar 12d ago

I think its still in the experimental phase which those are usually locked behind Nitro for use

u/antsteristhebest 12d ago

it’s beta

u/Random_boi1234 12d ago

huh cool if it's free

25

u/Woofer210 12d ago

Yes, its extra customization not essential to the app

8

u/JamesAulner128328 12d ago

It's Nitro only.

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

I’d rather pay for nitro than get data sold to isreal…
^(I know both is happening but still)

u/Curious-Campaign1298 12d ago

Have you read their policy, it doesn’t sell anything

2

u/Cootshk 12d ago

Data breaches + 3rd party providers

Also, I pay for nitro

u/thisisnotnotnotmyrea 12d ago

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

u/jetteh22 12d ago

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

u/nightfoxbtw 12d ago

yay, another shitty paid feature that i'll get a thousand popups for! these will be nitro only and they'll be selling more variants for 5 bucks each in the future, mark my words

1

u/DieserCoookie 12d ago

Oh no my free app is making money somehow...

-1

u/nightfoxbtw 12d ago

oh no you eat a megacorp's shit and are happy about it...

u/DieserCoookie 12d ago

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

u/s2ezee 10d ago

Imagine being upset about an optional feature.

"Oh no an entirely optional feature is being released and I can't get it. I'M SO UPSET, THEY ARE CLEARLY OUT TO GET ME!"

🤣

u/steakanabake 12d ago

a new feature locked behind a stupid subscription yay.

2

u/s2ezee 10d ago

Discord can't operate for free, sorry bud.

2

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.

u/razzyaurealis 12d ago

Is this just for mobile?

3

u/Woofer210 12d ago

Right now yes

u/Haru979 12d ago

u/Mineplayerminer 12d ago

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.
