Why does Midjourney continue to insist on using Discord as a UI? I'd much rather they release a command line tool I can run anywhere if they insist on a text interface.

My assumption is that, since theyre officially advertised and supported by Discord, they might have terms that they cant? Just a bad guess

Anyone have any comparison images between this version and the previous ones? Seems the blogpost is missing this essential element.

I think that maybe because a lot of its target users really care about their discord identities, it makes it easier to moderate with the threat of banning offending accounts

It just kills me. Disord is a horrible, horrible way to interact with it

A week or so ago there were rumors they were building the functionality into the website, with some heavy users getting early access.

My guess for Discord is that it lets them offload a number of costs: from costs of hosting the content to having to develop and maintain a website

They have asked feedback some time ago what users would want from a dedicated app. So I'm sure that is on the works.

On of the reasons I think is their statement on making it publicly available. In order to make your images private, you have to pay a hefty monthly fee. It levels the playing field as most of the prompts are public and you can learn from others.

Seriously, what a terrible experience. As soon as there was an alternative (DALLE3), I jumped ship and canceled my sub.
