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 number around 19 million and host 150 million monthly users. Discord operates without traditional advertising or selling user data, instead offering a premium subscription service called Nitro that provides additional features like enhanced streaming quality and customization options. The company's goal is to foster a sense of belonging and community among its users.
