Social media communication got introduced as a refreshing way of staying connected via Discord, a social communication platform. It has become one of the most popular mediums for keeping connected to friends, social circles, and people of similar interests.
The app is relatively new compared to other widely known apps like Facebook or Instagram.
Since its debut in 2015, the app has gone on to win the users' hearts by offering services in over 30 languages, letting the users talk and chat, watch movies, stream away, play music, and stay together as much enjoyably as possible.
It took the app only a short time to bring up its versions for users of different operating systems like MacOS or Linux.
The youth likes constantly engaging in social activities. Discord offering a breath of fresh air to hang out with close ones - quickly became engaging and became their go-to hang-out place.
Why do young people prefer Discord? Discord stood for the ever-changing taste and brought in unique, orderly, sharp features that many popular social connection apps like Facebook, Telegram, or WhatsApp did not offer.
Discord lets users open up servers, more like a community for hanging out with others. Servers get more animated by adding bots - specialised members who work according to the commands given to them.
For example, if a server has the bot ProBot as its member, a user can go into a voice channel and, in a text channel, type/play 'name of the song' to get ProBot to play a specific song. A server owner opens up a new server and customises it as desired. Multiple text channels are available for use. On voice channels, members can join and talk to each other, share screens, stream away, or watch something together.
These features make Discord a flexible and diverse platform. Admins of a server can take action to maintain their servers using a variety of bots of different kinds.
Discord did not let it become too personal between two people as there are no read receipts of messages. Heated-up communication didn't get too complicated on Discord, and it's much easier to mind someone's business, more preferably than any other social site.
A ProBot command will ban any user from spreading anything offensive. Admins of a server can set age constraints to prevent users not belonging to a specific range from accessing channels.
Discord even made gaming and knowledge-gathering fun. Youngsters can link several accounts from gaming or streaming sites and musical platforms to their Discord accounts. This way, when users are online, their existence on Discord becomes more animated and playful as their activities get displayed.
If someone is playing VALORANT, it shows right under their profile. Anybody can choose among the modes to stay online on Discord.
For example, one can go notification free but still be online for as long as they want using the 'do not disturb' mode. Users can display a custom message on their profile for as long as possible.
The Discord app launched in its earliest stage lacked many current features but quickly turned the wheel around; the app broke the way for it to become a cliche option.
Discord Nitro is the premium, paid version of Discord that unlocks interesting features like adding video graphics to the profile cover, boosting servers to reach more people, using a variety of fun emojis, or sharing larger files.
How servers won the heart of the young geek? Young people can build a community sharing a common interest and spread their activity using a Discord server. Any user can ask for help on a server, get into voice channels, and look up the resources shared by others.
A Discord chat box/text channel is the perfect way to let the server members know about updates of any kind. Discord even permits enthusiastic developers to test new or old features with its Public Test Build version.
