Tips for Discord
- Low intensity Zalgo is more readable; high intensity creates maximum visual chaos — choose based on your purpose.
- Discord renders Zalgo at full intensity without clipping — diacritics display completely unlike some other platforms.
- Zalgo in channel names can make navigation confusing — use sparingly or only for decorative channels.
- Low-to-medium intensity nicknames are still recognizable in member lists; high intensity may be unreadable.
