It's worth noting these items are available for a limited time, from July 18th to August 15th.

Discord Nitro Potential Upgrade

Discord is experimenting with a possible upgrade for Discord Nitro. Currently, Nitro's upload limit stands at 500 megabytes but might soon increase to 1 gigabyte. While it’s not yet official, it's an encouraging sign for users who desire enhanced capabilities.

Discord's New Look

The app is getting a visual refresh. Some of the noticeable changes include:

Rounded Corners for banners and profiles.
Transparent Emojis in Discord servers.
New Themes including:
- Dark Mode
- Darker Mode
- Midnight Theme: Ideal for those late-night users with an incredibly dark interface.

This new look is reminiscent of the Discord mobile app and is still a work in progress.

Enhanced Safety Features

Discord has introduced several new safety features:

Blocked User Alerts: If you join a group DM containing a user you have blocked, Discord will notify you and allow you to leave without others being aware.
Crisis Text Line Integration: Originally available only in the United States, Discord is expanding support through Thru Line Care, offering assistance in more countries worldwide.

Emoji Feature for Bots

Discord has added the capability for app developers to incorporate emojis directly into bots. This means bots can now use specific emojis without needing to be present in multiple servers. However, it requires some coding know-how and is moderated by server rules.
