This is funny because my impression was that Discord users by and large hated those messages.
yeet that shit outta here
Like Discord Businesses. Discord B8s.
You're trying to pull a YouTube Red here?
B8s = Business
...except then it would be B6s...unless the parent meant "Discord Businesses"?
Now I don't even know.
I like humor. Humor that, you know, is funny.

Did you quote them your business rates?
Perfectly harmless, and adds a bit of charm to the app.
It's one thing if a joke is actually harmful, of course. But, beyond that, I'd say that denigrating someone else's way of being whimsical is a specific subspecies of taking yourself too seriously.
He responded to claim that if someone does not like those messages, then he "take himself too seriously". The response simple explained that author find those jokes unfunny.
As you said, humor varies from culture to culture, generation to generation, family to family, and person to person. That implies that not liking some kind of humor is completely valid sentiment.
I generally think that this advice is over-simplistic, but this tends to be a situation where the, "If you can't say anything nice, just don't say anything," principle really is a good rule of thumb.
It's perhaps even worse if you try to make your criticism amusing. Scalzi has a good explanation of why: https://whatever.scalzi.com/2010/06/16/the-failure-state-of-...
Because what you want here is one sided "one side get to insult the other, but other is expected to not even express their opinion."
I personally found them to be like "wow, look how hip we are young children".
I'd also add festival themed icons too. The whole VSCode trolling a few years back might have been overblown but the end result was for the better imo. I find it distracting having seasonal icons and the fewer distractions I can find in my productivity tools the better.
Every time. FTFY.
By coincidence, I recently stumbled upon this 'Discord for Business' support post from 2018 (https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/3600302...) that generated almost 200 upvotes and 100 comments. I
The post starts as follows:
> My company is presently evaluating alternatives to Slack internally. Turns out, Discord is one of the most feature rich alternatives, with a relatively smooth UI and voice/video/screenshare capability. I couldn't even get half of about 10 people on the testing committee to try it.
> The reasons:
> -The logo in the tray is a video game controller
> -The home screen shows a listing of games
> -The chat bot addressed a female employee when she joined as "love"
> -Touchpoint emails aren't asking for feedback, they're talking about the journey for users to share gaming experiences
> Except the third one above, none of these are "bad" per se. And the product is really solid. There's a market there that could certainly use it as is, but perhaps an even bigger (and more lucrative one) that will be turned off to the current state. We're not moving forward with Discord because we don't feel it really has us as a high value audience. But some tweaks to modify the UI/UX to meet these differing needs based on license type may be worth exploring.
Discord, while lacking the app and file features, is much better in terms of what it actually does. It's almost enough to make me not hate Electron (?)
