About Discord
Discord started for gamers but became communication infrastructure for communities everywhere. Voice channels, text chat, and video—real-time communication that scales from friend groups to massive communities.
Servers organize communities. Bots extend functionality infinitely. The free tier supports substantial communities.
Communities of all types use Discord because it handles communication needs better than alternatives designed for different purposes.
