No and I really think you should stop pushing a third party app on us, especially for the major issues and upgrades of your actual platform. Those on discord are on and those refusing refuse- can we just leave it there. It is hard enough to keep people informed via blogs and tech threads updates to pass/forward to yet another way- seem counterproductive. If you have information there too that is fine but really stop telling us to definitely join to get information that we should be getting here first.

Sorry but this discord pushing is a pet peeve of mine since day 1. I'm sorry, no offense, but Hollowness is right. No one should push or force anyone into using a service that they don't want to use.

Saying that someone "should definitely join" isn't exactly the same as saying "you must definitely join," but it's close. It's kind of like when Microsoft offered their infamous "free Windows 10 upgrade" on owners of Windows 7 or 8.1 back in 2015-16, which ruined a lot of people's computers when they started forcing the update on them.

A better way to say it would be: "If you're interested, you might consider joining our official discord server to talk more with our staff about the UCP, as we'll be talking about the UCP editor this week." I'm just giving my take on it.
