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, accommodating a wide range of groups from artists to study groups. Users can join various communities, known as servers, which host discussions and activities related to specific topics. Unlike many other platforms, Discord does not rely on advertisements or selling user data; instead, it offers a premium subscription service called Nitro that provides additional features such as enhanced streaming quality and customization options. The goal of Discord is to create a welcoming environment where people can build connections and engage with others who share similar passions.
