    I’m confused, this changes nothing for most users. All this does is allow creators that use Patreon tiers to grant certain roles in Discord to do this entirely through Discord. If you’re not in one of these servers, this probably won’t affect you.

    Even if you are, it’s still barely a change

        No, it’s automated via Patreon as well.
