Once Discord embraces enshittification, we will meet again. :)
Discord enshittification is well under way, just this week I have started seeing ads in the client just above the voice channel status in the bottom left. Cancelled my Nitro immediately, no point if they are going to shove ads in my face anyway.
Currently looking at alternatives, Revolt looks promising, and can be self hosted.
[Matrix] is the most promising option right noe, having an ecosystem and eee
Bullshit. Pics or it didn't happen. You might have seen a quest, where if you stream a specific game to your friends you get a free in-game item, but these are not advertisements.
Additionally, you can click on it and tell it to never show you any more quests.
Either that or you're bitching about discord telling you that it has added more voice channel mini games.

I have no interest in streaming "quested" games, and whatever deal Discord has done with the developer to encourage users to engage with such games (and by extension the game's microtransaction economy), and regardless of what they call it, is by definition an advertisement. If you can't see that, then you are an ad campaign exec's wet dream. Either that, or a troll.
