Our blog has moved to our main website! Check us out on discord.com/blog to stay in the loop about future posts.

• Friends List is here! Send direct messages to people even if they’re not in any of your servers. Time to get those lazy Skype friends over here!
• Community Loading Quotes: We asked you guys on Twitter to suggest some new loading quotes. We got literally 2,854 submissions because you’re all crazy. We picked 31. THEY ARE LIVE NOW :heart:
• Add your friends by email or name#tag. And if you don’t want people to use your email you can turn that off. Be safe on the Internet!
• Control who can send you a friend request under User Settings -> Friends. This ones for all the popular kids.
• Mega Block List: Annoyed by someone? Trap them in a block pit and never receive DMs from them again. The wumpus will… take care of it.
• Blocked user messages will be covered up in public channels so they can’t try to get your attention. Even the block list has a special move.
• Server Privacy controls allow you to disable receiving direct messages server by server.
• Mobile Friends list is here today too for iOS and Android. Grab the mobile app so your friends can make your pocket buzz.
• Android Attachments can now be sent with love letters… like the desktop client.
• A fancy schmancy BOT tag is now shown on some of the bots available around Discord Town.

• We added ​even more​ server capacity in all regions! Can’t stop.
• Fixed a super obscure bug that caused channel names to flicker on hover.
• [Android] Keyboard bug for tablets in landscape mode not adjusting the view to fit.
• [Android] Read states for DMs would get wacked out. Now they should get less wacked out.

• The Linux build is under active development… thanks primarily to a gentleman named Chris.
• We’ve started designing a whole bunch of fancy highly requested features like SUB CATEGORIES ERMAHGERD.
• Phase 2 of the friends list is on deck.
• What could that BOT tag mean? I wonder what will happen!
• Tell us what we can do better at http://feedback.discordapp.com
