I think people are reading the headline only and thinking this will be mandatory ad views on mobile to, like, just use Discord.
This is an existing thing on desktop already that they are porting over to mobile. It’s an optional ad you can choose to watch in order to gain in-game rewards for various games. Or sometimes a discord profile frame or something.
Looks like no video calls or screensharing? If so, unfortunately won’t be a viable replacement for me.
Also, looks like there are self hosting options but they seem clumsy? From what I read, and happy to be corrected, a self hosted instance is completely separated from the rest of the Revolt ecosystem, meaning new accounts and everything for each.
I’m also curious how they will upkeep the servers without any kind of monetization.
I mean, they do get “rewards”. Discord has been doing quests for a while now, even video ones, on desktop. It sounds like maybe this is just the existing feature coming to mobile? For example, I watched an ad for MH Wilds to get in game items.
It’s pretty strange, come to think of it. Who exactly is this convincing to buy MH Wilds? I watched it because I already had MH Wilds. So, for me, I watched an ad for a game I already bought for some items. But, why would I do that if I didn’t already have the game?
Weird lol.
I love how one person cites a statistic, and another person just dismisses it as false because of their anecdotal experience.
What is this from?
That’s not a dilemma for atheists because atheists aren’t the ones claiming there’s an omnipotent being guiding everything.
Also, you can be both an atheist and an agnostic. They cover different things. I’m fairly certain you’d consider yourself an atheist in regards to the sun god Ra.
“style”, in terms of composition, is actually a component in proving plagiarism.
I think that you may want to take a break from Lemmy and cool off. I’m sorry that you didn’t get what you wanted out of this post but try coming back to it with a fresh perspective later. I hope things get better for you.
The reason I suggested it is because it sounded similar to my situation and seeking treatment has made things so much better. Of course, I could be totally wrong about what the cause is, but I can assure you it’s not normal and something is behind this.
My father choked a lot, and two of my siblings have some difficulty swallowing, and I had it the worst, choked on food lots and lots, like feared I was going to die sometimes. I finally got it checked out and I had a REALLY restricted esophagus due to EoE.
They stretched my esophagus out (I actually will be going back in for another stretch because they couldn’t do it all in one go, that’s how bad it was). Eating has been soooooo much better ever since.
Because it specifically has a genetic component, that’s why I suggested it based on what you’ve said. It’s a fairly newish disorder (in terms of discovery/definition) so not a lot of people have heard of it but it’s not that uncommon.
Your family should get checked out for EoE. It has a genetic link.
I’m not a father and I never intend to be one, and I think it’s great that you’re taking paternity leave.
USA and trying anything other than gun control and access to mental health services, name a more iconic duo.
You may well be right, and I don’t mean to defend Discord or even the feature. I just think a lot of people here were misunderstanding exactly what it was that was being introduced to mobile.
