We take outages seriously internally, but users generally don't care about the nitty-gritty. For a full, detailed postmortem on that outage you can check out our status site: https://status.discordapp.com/incidents/ywdwttd6b0hg

> Essentially the result of these design decisions in series is that if you install & use Discord, and fail to manually disconnect from your voice channel, next time you start your computer Discord will automatically join your last channel and broadcast any loud enough audio in the same room as your computer to the voice channel.

It's worth noting that Discord no longer does this if you've been away from the voice channel for more than 5 minutes. The feature was intended to autoreconnect you when the app was restarted due to updates and such, not to cause people to accidentally broadcast themselves on system start.

Ah, excellent. I wasn't aware they'd added a timer to the channel reconnection. That's an elegant way of solving the problem without compromising the important part of the features.
