Discord

Voice, video, and text communication platform

About Discord

Discord is a communication platform that allows users to connect through voice, video, and text. It serves as a space for friends and communities to gather and share their interests, catering to a wide range of groups such as artists, activists, study groups, and hobbyists. Users can join various communities, known as servers, which host discussions and activities related to their interests. Unlike many other platforms, Discord does not rely on advertising or selling user data; instead, it offers a premium subscription service called Nitro, which provides additional features like enhanced streaming quality and customization options. The goal of Discord is to create a welcoming environment where people can build connections and foster a sense of belonging.
