I believe it's called matrix. Only problem is there is no 0 percent chance I'll convince anyone I play games with to switch off discord unless the ads hurt there frames lol.

Thanks!

I've been wanting to move off of discord for a while

Discords been showing signs of Skype-ification for a while, and the ads seal the deal.

I imagine the same feeling for a number of others too, I'll be convincing my friends to switch.

Fuck ads in my chat.
