Google is dead. Where do we go now?

The culture on discords tend to be way better than anywhere else on the internet, but discord really sucks to use. Somehow still doesn’t have a usable search, really underpowered notifications control, they have the worst pop ups imaginable that seem to just float on top of the whole interface and make it impossible to use.

I really wish something better would come along.

It can do per channel and per server notifications for all messages, @mentions, or none.

What else would you want?

I also want levels of notifications. Especially emergency one - Some channels are super critical and I want to be notified immediately, give me a popup, ring my phone, override if my phone is on mute, then call me. Kind of like pagerduty.

Arbitrary regex matching. Something I use in IRC often.

I lurk in a bunch of Discords for things I'm not active in, but don't want to have to find an invite to if I need to ask a question in the future.

I always have a notification badge on Discord, and I hate it. Too many servers have channels where I get pinged, even though the channel is muting. I'm presuming someone is doing something like "hey @all, play with me"

I ought to be able to register that I will never ever care about this channel. Please ignore it for me.

You can mute channels and servers completely and get no notifications.

I wish Discord had a betrer account switcher on mobile. I have a realname account for friends ana family, and another I use with randos.

I use discord PTB and Canary to run multiple instances with different accounts on a single device.

It also allows running multiple instances with a single account (to be on multiple vocals at once for example).

The only drawback is the release cycle is more frequent and I need to update every time I boot.

Is this a feature of PTB, or something coming soon to the stable version?
