Discord announced on Wednesday that it’s experimenting with a new virtual reward system aimed at encouraging more users to engage with its interactive Discord is experimenting with “Orbs,” a new virtual reward aimed at encouraging more users to engage with its interactive ads called Quests.
Oh boy, more pop ups to dismiss!
If you need to continue using Discord I would recommend switching to a 3rd party client that can disable a lot of the tracking and adding many useful features.
Are those completely safe? I’ve heard it’s rare but you can get banned for stuff like that?
Will give those a shot.
Just use it for gaming with a handful of friends and would switch if anything else was as reliable and easy to use but with less annoyances. I haven’t found an alternate that does video streaming and works with xbox, which one friend needs.
