I got a thing that said “Lootboxes!” On the bottom right. I tried ignoring it for a day but that didn’t seem to work. So, I clicked the “Didn’t ask” button. We’ll see how much Discord tries to test me before I jump ship to Matrix or Revolt.

I clicked on that, it was actually just an April fools joke, there was nothing to buy.

Yeah I agree, not defending discord just wanted to point out the April fools joke.
Yeah… to me it was just another one of those UI elements (like the Nitro Menu, games, etc.) that I just don’t touch.
Sure it’s an April fools joke, but the prospect of introducing ads seem just as much an April fools as what they did.
