I've added multiline input, fuzzy search, and more to Discord slash commands, based on dev feedback!

Slash Command Improvements and Mobile Fixes
Hi everyone, thanks for all your feedback on slash commands!

We've shipped a set of small improvements to slash commands based on what you asked for:
String options now support multiline input
Command autocomplete now has fuzzy search, so you can skip letters or type /r a to find /role add
When you switch channels and come back, the input now remembers which command you had selected

We've also fixed bugs in the command experience on mobile:
Fixed typing space while typing subcommands making the command picker disappear
Fixed typing space to select a command sometimes selecting the wrong command
Fixed slash command user options sometimes failing to find the user
Fixed some minor UI issues in the app launcher

I don't use reply filters, but twitter's "accounts you follow and who they follow" is a cool option and bsky should probably add that. I get reasons for limiting replies, but it also has problems like reducing valid input, encouraging misinformation, and presumably making people follow just to reply

It's okay to hate Meta and wish for its collapse and failure. But the two jury verdicts this week are not the vehicle for that. They're going to have widespread impact across the internet, and will do real damage to every other internet service.

I've revamped context menu commands on Discord! commands are now organized by app, your frequently used commands are at the top, and a new search bar helps you quickly find commands. with this update, I also increased the command limit from 5 to 15!

we live in this weird trifecta: - at no time before has it been easier to research and validate a claim, rumor, etc - at no time before has it been easier to spin up a fake claim, rumor, etc (and people know this) - most people still believe the fake claim or rumor without attempting to validate

I've added more components to bot modals on Discord! you can now use radio buttons and checkboxes for cleaner UI.

Three interaction modals in Discord. The first one is for Class Selection and shows radio buttons asking you to pick an in-game character class. The second shows checkboxes for which days you are free to study. The third has a "Do you like me?" checkbox.

Here's your friendly reminder that CSS selectors are global and evaluated RTL, so if you have selectors that are very broad like `.container > div` you might be impacting performance in a measurable way 🙈 Before and after profile of server switching after some selector optimizations in @discord.com
