What Is Discord?
SHARE

If you’re looking for an online communication program that allows you to connect with thousands of other people at once, Discord is definitely worth a look. Discord is a free voice, video, and text chat program used by tens of millions of people ages 13 and up, and it’s great for chatting about a wide variety of topics. Communities of all sizes can use Discord, but it is most popular among smaller groups.

Discord is a free online communication program

Once you’ve downloaded Discord, you can begin communicating instantly with others. The program features voice and text chat. You can create servers based on a particular game, interests, or friends. There are many features available, including customizable chat rooms and private messages. Discord is easy to use, and it doesn’t require downloading any additional software. To start chatting, sign in to your Discord account and choose the option to add friends. You’ll be able to chat with these friends using text, voice, and video chat.

Discord is not immune to problematic content. Unfortunately, this is an issue that plagues all social media platforms, and Discord is no exception. This is especially problematic because Discord allows users to hide their identities and participate in invite-only servers. As a result, bad actors can go unnoticed. In 2017, the Charlottesville attack was discussed on Discord before the event and the company took action by shutting down servers associated with Nazi ideology.

It lets you connect other social media accounts

One of the biggest differences between Discord and its competition is the ability to control your group. Discord has many more customizable settings than Facebook, including the ability to assign specific roles to members. You can also control who can view specific channels and social media. Additionally, you can add people to your group through personal invites or clickable links. Discord is more secure than Facebook and uses less system resources, which makes it a great choice for businesses. You can connect your Facebook, Twitter, and Discord accounts to make it easier to collaborate with other people.

Discord has its pros and cons. Its community guidelines and privacy policies have recently been updated to make it more child-friendly. You should accept friend invites from people you know. Additionally, you should scan the messages for inappropriate content. You can also block inappropriate users so you don’t accidentally send direct messages to your kids. Another feature of Discord is the ability to create an invite-only server, which keeps your private messages private from others.

It has privacy and safety settings

Users can change the privacy and safety settings on Discord to limit the types of messages they receive from strangers. These settings will prevent non-friends from sending you direct messages. You can toggle this setting on or off to block certain types of messages. It applies to new servers as well as previous ones. By default, you can enable the option when creating your initial account. You can also manually set friend request restrictions. The best setting is Keep me safe, which scans all direct messages and blocks content that is not appropriate for you.

While Discord does not have parental controls or moderators, it has a number of safety features that can help protect children from phishing messages and other unscrupulous users. You can even disable the app’s “public” feature to prevent your child from accidentally sending messages to other members of their friends. You can always change the settings if you feel uncomfortable. To access your child’s privacy settings, visit the Discord FAQ page.
