"Discord is basically my digital living room. I love how I can just hop into a voice channel and see who is around without the awkwardness of a formal phone call. The screen sharing is so smooth that it really feels like my friends and I are hanging out on the same couch even when we are miles apart."

"I started a server for my university design club and it has been a total game changer for us. Having dedicated channels for feedback, resources, and memes keeps us organized in a way that group texts never could. It is the perfect private space to be ourselves away from the noise of traditional social media."
