Have you ever had to organize a group of people and the task became too difficult? It is a problem in which many people have found themselves, since not many tools exist to be able to coordinate groups of people and make them all participate equally. This is where Discord comes in, a tool that solves many problems of this kind through its instant messaging and group servers.
Discord offers endless possibilities for users to customize their experience, from private messaging to the creation of large groups of people where they can send media files to each other, make voice and video calls and much more.
Servers, Discord's main strength
As we have already mentioned, Discord is mainly used for the convenience of creating servers, which consist of a collection of chats and voice channels dedicated to specific topics and that can be adapted to any kind of need.
The servers usually have a high user limit, with a capacity of up to 250,000 users, which can be expanded by contacting technical support if needed. Within them, we can create more specific communities, through their voice and text channels, where users can join and leave freely for easier communication.
In addition, administrators can grant different types of roles and privileges to the users of a server, these serve mainly to allow access to restricted channels to the entire public, to designate the moderation team, and allow users to change the color of their messages in the chat.
Communication within the servers
The app offers many ways for its users to communicate with each other, as already mentioned the service offers instant text messaging, as well as voice and video calls for groups.
The advantage of Discord is the wide variety of variables that can be toggled in its channels, as we can find text-only channels, chat rooms where users simply join to discuss particular topics, and even exclusive channels for multimedia content. Apart from all this, users also have tools such as the screen sharing option, which also offers different ways to do it.
Interesting features and interesting facts
- Discord Nitro: although the software is free to use, users can access the premium service, Discord Nitro, which gives them certain advantages such as an increase in the number of files they can send, as well as an increase in the size of the files. It also offers aesthetic aspects such as avatars and animated emojis on all servers.
- Bots: the app allows users to add bots to their servers, either to regulate the activity of their members, or for different purposes such as playing music, searching for images or GIFs on the web, or hosting a variety of mini-games.
- Size of the servers: although the limit of 250,000 users seems like a lot for some people, the largest Discord server has 15 million users, implying that this app can take on large projects if the user requires it.
Cautions when using Discord and conclusion
Although everything seems perfect, Discord has also had problems regarding the topics of its servers and those who participate in them, as well as inappropriate interactions between its users. Since then, the app has taken measures to solve and considerably reduce these kind of incidents, as well as reinforcing its moderation system with servers and users.
However, we always recommend caution as this is a platform used in part by underage children, and parental supervision always comes in handy.
Discord is an extremely useful platform that has taken its place in the industry seriously, taking action against malicious attitudes and always looking for ways to make the experience more enjoyable for all its users.
