What do you think about a petiton to convince discord to optimise their browser for switch
-
As a firm user of Browsedns, its a pain texting people on reddit. What do you guys think? I might try making a petition
-
I agree
-
would be cool but discord probably wont care and they r too busy making useless stuff for u to waste money on

@dan Possible, but discord loves their users, if we rally all 26k people who petitioned to nintendo they'll have to say yes!

@dan if they could get switch users on it it would mean even more publicity which would be a strategic marketing plan if you really think about it

@Cybertrash0vtxxy You speak the truth, we should see what admins think

@Cybertrash0vtxxy true but from what ive seen alot of big companies r kinda stupid in the last years till today, but who knows maybe discord is smarter than most big companies

@dan Yeah, if they're so power hungry for money i'd like to think they'd leap on the opportunity

If you make a petition, I'll definitely promote it! I think it should include the framing that it seems Nintendo is not going to help (after 7 years and 26k signatures), and that all that the signers are asking for is to have just a little more support such that the older Switch browser works with the Discord web app!
Probably this can be done via JS polyfills, making sure that older versions of webkit don't error, and that any advanced features fallback without crashing or infinite loading. I'm not saying it's a necessarily easy task for Discord engineers, however, if they prioritize it, it would obviously have a lot of impact for a lot of users that use outdated or non-traditional browsers.
It's also worth mentioning that this is Discord's "official" response to the feedback request: https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360029881992-Discord-for-the-Nintendo-Switch?sort_by=votes
However they're talking about a full-on integration, not "just" better web app support. So the scope of the petition should importantly highlight that just optimizing their web app for the browser is all that thousands of users are interested in.

@VGMoose I'll see what i can do, however my options are limited because i'm on Switch.
Should i use change.org? I did some research and people are saying don't use it

would be great if this happened
