Discord

Discord is a social platform designed for voice, video, and text communication, popular among gaming communities, creators, and interest-based groups. Launched in 2015, it allows users to create and join servers—customizable spaces where members can chat in real time, share media, stream content, and use integrations like bots and community tools. Originally built for gamers, Discord has since evolved into a broader platform used for education, fandoms, coworking, and social hangouts. Servers can be public or private, with channels organized by topic or function. Features like screen sharing, events, roles, and threaded conversations make it a versatile space for online communities of all sizes. With over 150 million monthly active users globally, Discord has become a major player in the world of online communication, offering a unique blend of social networking and real-time collaboration.
