as someone with experience in the discord console, unfortunately they made it a little trickier than just ctrl + shift + i about four years ago, i believe.
specifically what you’re going to want to do is find settings.json in %appdata%/discord or the mac equivalent which is found with finder > go > go to folder. there is a setting there titled “DANGEROUS_ENABLE_DEVTOOLS_ONLY_ENABLE_IF_YOU_KNOW_WHAT_YOURE_DOING”: and if it is not, copy and paste “DANGEROUS_ENABLE_DEVTOOLS_ONLY_ENABLE_IF_YOU_KNOW_WHAT_YOURE_DOING”: true into the .json and then, only then you can do crtl + shift + i or command + option + i on mac.
best of luck!
So. ^THIS^ extra-step guide totally works!
When you’ve enabled dev tools and opened Discord’s console, input THIS code:
there’s a scary message in the console about how if someone told you to paste something in, you are 100% getting hacked. and like. that might be true sometimes? but this is pretty simple code and you can just read it yourself and have some clue of what it’s doing and whether or not it’s likely to be dangerous, and… i mean, i’m not a super expert in javascript, but. this sure looks like it does exactly what it says it does, and there’s not a lot of obfuscation here other than being javascript.
A simplified description of what’s going on here, in the hope that this will be useful to non-technical users:
(I make no claims as to whether this actually succeeds, but this appears to be what it’s trying to do.)
wow. that. that’s really good. thank you. that is also what i thought it did, but the color-coding explanation is really helpful.
