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 relying on advertisements or selling user data; instead, it offers a premium subscription service called Nitro, which provides users with enhanced features like higher quality streaming and customization options. The goal of Discord is to create a sense of belonging and connection among its users.
