[Suggestion] Bring back Text Count

I noticed that we can no longer see the character count as we type a post. This is invaluable in keeping us under the 2k limit. I figure someone in the nitro marketing department suggested removing this, so more people will be frustrated by running into an invisible limit, and more likely to buy the 4k character upgrade. The popup to buy nitro doesn't even show the current number of characters. That's really telling. This is very dissapointing to see this company stray from it's customer-centered model, the moment it got enough leverage (dependence) of users.

As a workaround, we just paste our message in word now and use a word count there. In fact, I've gotten used to typing my entire posts out on word before posting them to discord. The more we have to use third party solutions, the less we're gonig to rely solely on this platform. There are other less popular chat tools, like teamspeak that still remain customer-centric and add new features every day. Teamspeak is also committed to privacy, which this platform is not.
