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"
  • @TheBestCat1290
    Changing the bot's name to 'apps' definitely won't be confusing at all when you remember the mobile and desktop apps exist
  • @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".
  • @pitust
    I love how the CSS class name for the "APP" label is called "botText". Gotta love consistency.
  • @daenite2480
    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.
  • @itzgrinchy
    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

    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.

    thank you for pitching down the transition ping sound effect, kept freaking out it was me
  • @SirInfectionton
    I remember I when I came on discord and looked at one of my bots in my server and I saw the dumbass "app" tag near its name
  • @Liggliluff
    It's actually cool that Discord does use translations for those things. Other platforms would just ignore it.
