A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

only if you have a very strict definition of Ad
i’ve never seen ads in discord. they have no advertising program.
no i don’t count those blurbs in the settings menu telling you about features that come with nitro. discord doesn’t get paid for those.
I get ads for nitro since I've moved off of it. It will pop up to try to get me to go back at a cheaper rate and I've had a few times where it was free to start again. Now they've rolled out a server store we'll see more ads.
"promotions" telling me to play a certain game on stream in discord (and get some cosmetic item for it) are ads for that game. I don't have a screenshot of it on hand, unfortunately.
I've never seen that before, but I have discord rich presence turned off.

They've also done it with Halo and Fortnite that I've seen.
