gollark: Assuming they have multiple languages support, they should just add an "owo gamer 1337" language and a "standard English" language.
gollark: Probably!
gollark: They keep adding new features but they're poorly integrated with everything and just tacked into random parts of the UI!
gollark: It would be better if Discord could integrate with other more open platforms - even *Google Talk* could - so you could avoid the terrible client application and stuff could move to other things without horrible problems - but it *doesn't* and they *actively ban* this in the ToS (though to be fair you can do it anyway).
