if you’re getting an error message that you’re IP blocked from discord:

• it’s a technical hiccup happening to thousands of people, and will presumably be fixed (you’re not actually banned)

• switching from the desktop app to the web app or mobile should get you in (edit: it may be necessary to use firefox or anything else not chromium based)

hi there! like we mentioned last week, colin and aidan are working on a feature we’re all really excited about right now; we were hoping it would ship in time for this patch notes but there’s still some stuff to finish up, so we’re going to provide you some more details on it at the end of the post instead of leaving you in the dark.

alongside spending most of our week on that, we’ve shipped a couple small changes:

• fixed a bug where users could very rarely get stuck in a half-signed up state, unable to use the site
  • this happened at most about once every 10,000 registrations
  • after we got two reports of it in a short span of time, we fixed what we think is the underlying issue so it shouldn’t happen any more, fixed the small number of users whose account was in this broken state, and built new tooling for @kaara to help fix people’s accounts with minimal effort if it ever recurs.
• removed a bunch of old unused notification code, in preparation for doing some more work to improve notifications.

on the business front, we’ve finalized our most recent round of funding! we’ll have a full financial update out next week for the start of October and we’ll go into more detail about everything then.

I love that @staff plays with their UI and thinks about whether a feature or page has usefulness and functionality and tries to iterate to make things more useable and include features that are interesting and helpful

It's really great that they consider underused elements and revamp them to create useful functionality

that's

not a headline i expected to read

i was like 90% sure they had some world domination style plan where they integrated bandcamp's library into the epic store for direct licensing for your fortnite maps or something

this is the opposite of what usually happens, instead of being swallowed up or shut down they're just gonna go on the market

hope they survive this though it's gonna be rough
