Is it just me or are Discord's status updates legendarily bad to the point of being entirely useless? As a user of the discord app, don't tell me the "API is having issues." Just tell me, "Discord is currently down. We are working on it and apologise for the disruption." Everything else is unnecessary line noise.

The Discordapp status page is written to by developers, and as a developer I really like the insights as to what is going on. As a user, I expect you to just look at it and see it's "Having Issues, We are working on it".

Mentioning the cause of the issue seems better than just "shits broke yo" to me.

Really? What in their status update read to you as "the problem is on our side, not yours"? Understand that I'm a programmer and couldn't figure that out.

Because if it was a problem on your end, it wouldn't be listed on their status page....?

"Google's Engineering team continues to work on mitigating the issue"

I think that's pretty clear where the issue lies
