Ever since Discord came out in 2015 it has evolved from a simple social application where people (mainly gamers) can chat and create little haiku bot for a versatile alternative to Zoom, Slack, and Facebook.
As it has expanded into juggling, much of its appeal has remained lost to those who use it as a basic chat and social app. For example me; I joined Discord because I really needed to share my opinion on YA royal trivia and sci-fi and fantasy fiction, but I’m not really a power user. . That’s not to mention many people are still struggling to manage their Instagram and WhatsApp notifications and may not see the point in switching to Discord.
That’s why today, Discord revealed some new features that make it easier and more engaging than ever. to use Discord. In addition to introducing a more affordable subscription tier that unlocks some of the more desirable paid features, it is also launching a new directory of apps and adding some new resources for developers. and the startup wants to do business on the platform.
Create ‘My Moji’
Unlike many social media platforms (now ruined), Discord earns no revenue from advertising. While the core Discord experience is free, the company offers Nitro, a $10 per month subscription service that allows users to create custom emojis, server support, HD video streaming and upload larger files.
If you’ve joined Discord, you may have noticed that other people have attractive avatars, and maybe you aspire to have your own. I certainly feel the same way, but my jealousy never makes me pay $10 a month for a subscription, especially since I also have to spend on ad-free Hulu. But now Discord offers Basic Nitro. For $3 a month I can now use all the chameleon heart emojis my chats crave, as well as upload larger files and get new badges on my status profile.
Ice break
To many newbies, Discord feels like a fun but chaotic house party. You can’t just jump in; someone has to invite you. You don’t know where the bathroom is. For about an hour, you stand by the fridge, eating your fries, and wondering why you’re there.
