    3. Discord on Apple M1 Devices

    When you could use the workaround, I installed the Discord iOS app onto my Mac. It was a subpar experience. The Discord mobile apps are completely retooled around touch gestures and long presses. D...

    Discord by default and only option is to search with Google which kicks you to a web browser directly opening to the Google search page for the phrase you've highlighted.  Can we get an option to c...

    3. 3d touch: temporary mute notifications
