I use discord only for gaming but the entire app was full of text strings that made me cringe. I'm glad they have got rid of them.

Do you have a few examples, for someone who's never used Discord?

    That's pretty cringy indeed, though i must say i laughed at the idea of a program snuggling into my systray :) Not sure how well that would localize in other languages though. Thanks for the examples!

    why is calling yourself a "good boy" twice so much more unsettling than doing it once?

      One "good boy" and you're talking about puppies. Three "good boys" and now you've entered the realm of BDSM.

    Ugh, even if you were into that, that's just lazy copying the same phrase for each option

It didn't matter to me that half of the loading messages weren't funny. I could tell from the moment I opened the app that they understood who I was and why I was there. I was there to have fun, and they got me. Now they have started the journey to be all things to all people, and I will not be surprised if they end up as nothing to anyone.

  You had fun because of a little bit of stupid jokes during loading? Did that define your experience, or was you experience defined by what you did inside of discord after the loading screen had passed? Why is all this bullshit important to people? Dumb gifs, emoticons everywhere, wannabe cute gamey jokes. If you get invited to a whine tasting party with a bunch of boring stuck up people, but there is a kids-ball-pool thingie in the entrance, is the party awesome?
