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 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 goal of Discord is to create a sense of belonging and connection among its users.
