    Discord's latest update ensures Markdown (.md) files render correctly, including tables and formatting, instead of displaying symbols. This improvement is particularly helpful for sharing AI project information, as LLMs and AI agents often use Markdown for instructions and context. The update also introduces a 'Move to...' feature for organizing servers and channels via right-clicking the sidebar icon, and Discord Nitro members can now upload files up to 1GB.
