Recent Discord Canary & Alpha update has added hidden "Gummy" effect that can be applied to username.
Seems like Discord works on more options for Display Name customization.
Release: idk
Hey @discord and @discordsupport, my account was limited today due to a hateful conduct violation related to an emoji I sent.
Talk about bad timing... right before Brazil's match. My community and I were really looking forward to celebrating together. 🇧🇷
Discord may want to add up to 5 new different badges and another two got leaked!
- Gifting Badge
- Game Diversity Badge
- Game Depth Badge
- [NEW] Account Age Badge
- [NEW] Streaming Badge
Discord is working on an update that allows us to remove unnecessary icons from the chat box.
The only icon that cannot be removed is the gifting icon.
Hot take for 2026:
"Built with AI" will be the new "I watched a YouTube tutorial."
And if you cannot debug it, secure it, or maintain it, you did not build it.
Another case of vibe coders not knowing how anything works
Adblockers hunt the endpoint. This isn't unblocked because it's a stupid ASCII thing, it's unblocked because nobody uses your shitty ad network.
And no, a video will almost always be smaller than blocks of text with CSS
Someone at Discord is still working on integrating Steam Timeline markers into clips, even though Steam Timeline integration was denied and treated as one of the leftovers from Discord's recent Hackweek projects.
2nd tinfoil hat time
The entire theater around "too dangerous" / reducing in real time models ability to 4.8 / storing all the prompts for 30 days is not for safety at all but a ploy to figure out who is the Chinese spies "stealing" their weights...
Tin foil hat time
Once anthropic can make money from their own software without selling the model but selling services created by their model they will stop being a model provider.
They are using you and selling to you as a stop gap before "AGI"
Discord is changing partnered server transfers to combat scamming towards users with the rare badge / server.
Good change. But hopefully there's something coming next for scammers who add 2FA to lock owners out of their accounts :)
Latest mobile client update introduced new user badges assets.
Basing on their names we can assume
- Game Diversity Badge may be based on how many games we player
- Game Depth Badge may be based on how long you played single game.
