I love how customizable the whole app has become, and how quickly the devs have worked to update it- the only really big worry I have right now is that the notifications seem to be nearly nonexistent, and it keeps logging me out. I have friends from other countries I love to stay in contact with leaving Discord, thus timing is super important because of the huge difference timezones. Meanwhile, our servers essentially send no notification on mobile for receiving messages of kind...
