In early March 2024, Discord revealed that “sponsored quests”, or ads would be added to the platform to help “support game developers” through the popular chat app.
Discord didn’t initially share a release date, or even how they’re going to implement ads into Discord’s overall design, other than mentioning that the sponsored quests would “tastefully” be integrated.
A report from The Wall Street Journal claims that Discord’s sponsored quests will be landing on the platform this week, and will be displayed at the bottom left of the app.

Time to enter the Matrix haha… just maybe not that Matrix server… a different Matrix server.
Join different server to well distribute the network and left matrix.org for newcommers.
Time to fire up the vent server
U BLOCK ORIGIN ACTIVATED
TL;DR: Currently a menu inside settings that gives you in-game reward redeem codes if you stream the game for a set amount of time. Someday, these will “show up tastefully in Discord”.
Haha April fools, right? Right??
I deleted my discord account about a year ago due to privacy concerns and I’ve been tempted to make a new one a few times but this definitely won’t push me closer.
RIP Discord
Great, the app is already a hot mess. It remind me of the early internet homepages people used to make.
God what is it with every social media app sucking hot fucking garbage despite being the most popular way to access it?. Especially if the app was bearable and progressively got worse.
Switch to Revolt? Anyone got alternatives?
Matrix too.
The nice thing about federation is we no longer have to put up with anyone’s shit.
The annoying thing about federation is that we have to convince our friends to stop putting up with it. Not an actual argument against. I just wish I could convert everyone I follow over.
Their frustration will eventually be the largest determining factor. Some may never catch on.
Please drink a verification can to continue.
If it’s to “support game developers”, I’m guessing/hoping that means the ads will only show up in the Activities feature
They definitely just wrote that to make it go down easier. They aren’t running ads for games out of the goodness of their hearts
